HARDEES MURDER SUSPECT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE - A 46-year-old Clarksburg man will be charged with the fatal stabbing and bludgeoning of two fast-food restaurant employees provided he recovers from a suicide attempt.
An arrest warrant has been issued for William A. Boggs on two counts of first-degree murder. Boggs is currently in United Hospital Center, after he attempted to kill himself when police were entering his residence.
Twenty-four-year-old Heather Jean Conner of Bridgeport and 46-year-old Michael Dennis Mueller of Clarksburg were found dead at a local Hardee's earlier this week. Both victims suffered stab wounds and blunt force trauma to the head. Police say the investigation has determined that Conner may have dated both Boggs and Mueller.
ENTOMBED VICTIMS DIED OF GUNSHOTS - Autopsies of a couple found entombed in their Marshall County basement show both were killed by single gunshot wounds.
Investigators have yet to determine when William and Susan Coester were killed, but forty-four-year-old drifter Harold Mauss Junior has been charged with the murders and is being held without bond at Northern Regional Jail.
Mauss says he did not kill the couple, claiming William Coester shot his wife and then himself in November.
Mauss allegedly told sheriff's deputies he witnessed the shootings and fled, then returned later to hide the bodies in a tomb built from bricks and concrete.
