Angela Dawn Harvey, 34, of Laddonia has been charged with the first degree murder of James William Boyd McNeely in the basement of her home, kidnapping and two counts of armed criminal action.
McNeely’s body was discovered by deputies of the Audrain County Sheriff’s Office in a refrigerated trailer of a tractor/trailer unit on the morning of Dec. 22.
According to the probable cause statement, Harvey said she, her husband and another man talked by phone Dec. 16 about ensuring McNeely wouldn't come back to harm them.
