An Iowa man was convicted Tuesday of killing a man last year and leaving his body burning in a ditch. A jury found Steven Vogel, 32, of Grinnell, guilty of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the death of Michael Williams, 44, whose body was found burning in a rural Jasper County ditch on Sept. 16, 2020.
Vogel is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 13.
Authorities said Williams died by strangulation on Sept. 12, 2020, and was wrapped in cloth, plastic and carpet. His body was then wrapped in duct tape before being transported to a rural area near Kellogg on Sept. 16, 2020, and set on fire, CBS affiliate KCCI-TV reported. Court documents said there was a witness that saw a truck at the scene.
