PEORIA The man who allegedly killed a North Valley woman last month struck and strangled her in a brutal and heinous manner, indicative of wanton cruelty.
Those words means Christopher J. Sanders, if convicted of the two counts of first-degree murder for the death of Mona Ellison, faces up to 100 years behind bars. Normally first-degree murder carries a maximum term of 60 years behind bars.
A Peoria County grand jury indicted Sanders, 42, of 2905 NE Adams St., in connection with Ellison s death on Jan. 20.
Police have continued to release few details about the homicide, which was the city s third of the year.
An alert taxi driver s information helped lead to the arrest of Christopher Sanders in the slaying of Peorian Mona Ellison, whose remains were found less than a day after she was reported missing this week.
Prosecutors provided that information Saturday when a first-degree murder charge was formally lodged against Sanders over the death of Ellison, 50.
Bail was set at $1.5 million, and Sanders remained in the Peoria County Jail on Saturday afternoon, online jail records showed.
Sanders, 42, was dating Ellison, and was seen carrying large, stuffed bags out of a residence he frequented and getting into a taxi with them, Peoria County State s Attorney Jodi Hoos said Saturday afternoon.
