Twenty-eight-year-old Joshua Conklin was charged with second-degree murder and obstructing justice in Campbell's death. He was transferred to the Linn County jail on Friday to face the charges. Campbell's niece, Felisha Campbell, was dating Conklin at the time of his death. She is accused of conspiring with Conklin to obstruct the investigation.
