A missing person case is now a homicide investigation. Williamsburg Police arrested 58-year-old John Meadows on charges of murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence. Chief Wayne Bird says when officers searched Meadows’ apartment, they found human remains inside a trash can. He says Meadows had been living there with those remains for around three weeks. The remains are thought to be of Meadows’ girlfriend, Donna Lay, who was reported missing on January 27. Chief Bird said when they interviewed Meadows, his story just didn’t add up. Police learned Meadows was searching the internet for information on how a body decomposes and had supplies to try to disguise the odor. Meadows was lodged in the Whitley County Detention Center.
