STRONGS PRAIRIE, WI (WSAU-WKOW) — Police have arrested a Friendship man in connection with the murders of a woman and her adult son in the Town of Strongs Prairie.
WAOW TV reports Cory A. Beck, 38, was arrested Thursday on tentative charges of first-degree intentional homicide (two counts) and hiding a corpse (two counts). Beck is in the Adams County Jail and is scheduled to make a court appearance on Monday.
He’s suspected of killing Sharon Miller, 62, and her son, Jami Lumby, 37, who were found dead back in June on property in Adams County.
In a press conference held Friday, Sheriff Brent York said Beck had known the victims for some time.
Autopsy results showed both Miller and Lumby died of blunt-force trauma. York said numerous items that could have been the murder weapon have been collected and are still being analyzed.
Beck’s DNA was found on “numerous evidentiary items at the scene,” York said. No other DNA was found at the scene.
Officials have not identified a potential motive for the killings.
