DETROIT (AP) - A 47-year-old man has been arrested after a Livingston County woman’s remains were found in Detroit.
Dowan Knighton was arraigned Sunday on mutilation of a dead body, concealing the death of an individual and tampering with evidence, the Wayne County prosecutor’s office said.
The remains of Kayla Pierce, 29, were found Thursday at an undisclosed location. Knighton was arrested at the scene, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Pierce was reported missing Nov. 24 by her mother. Her death remains under investigation.
Knighton has a Feb. 25 probable cause conference.
