At this time, no additional charges have been filed in connection with the death of a 38 year old Boaz man, whose body was found in a burning car near Geraldine on December 17th.

Gary Lee Willis was reported missing on December 14th from a home near the DeKalb/Marshall County line.

His body was found three days later on County Road 135 inside the burning vehicle.

According to the Ft Payne Times-Journal 28-year old Christopher Todd Cagle and 33-year old Delia May Downs, both of Albertville and 28-year old Ft Payne resident Stanley Townsel, Jr. have all been charged with First Degree Kidnapping.

Officials from DeKalb, Marshall and Etowah counties met on Friday to discuss the possibility of additional charges being brought, but announced after that meeting they are still working on the case.

Dekalb County Sheriff Harris was recently quoted as saying he would like to see all three charged with Capital Murder, adding he believes that the motive was money and drugs.

It’s believed that the body was dumped in DeKalb County in an effort to throw-off investigators.
