Jones and Coones: Body of missing woman may be in Michigan landfill
Authorities have said Jones' mother, Nicole Jones, 53, was killed, but her body still has not been found. Prosecutors have said they believe her body ended up in a Michigan landfill. The manner of her death has not been released.
Jonathan Jones, and 17-year-old Kaitlyn Coones, a runaway teen living in a foster home in Canton, were found in Ahumada, Chihuahua, Mexico, on May 6 after an international manhunt. He had been awaiting extradition in El Paso, Texas.
Jones was awaiting sentencing on May 4 in another criminal case in Wood County when he skipped town with Coones, investigators have said. She faces charges of murder and tampering with evidence in Nicole Jones' death.
Coones also faces legal action in Canton for what police said was obstruction.
Jonathan Jones remains in the Wood County Jail, where he was initially wanted. Rettig said additional charges in the case are possible.
