Murder charges filed in death of South Dakota woman
CANTON, S.D. (AP) — A person who has been in custody since a 20-year-old mom was discovered lifeless final month in Lincoln County, SD has now been charged with homicide and manslaughter.
Sheriff’s officers say Randi Gerlach was discovered lifeless at a residence south of Sioux Falls on March 1 and that the demise gave the impression to be suspicious. Her home accomplice, 22-year-old Jackson Phillips, was arrested a short while later and booked for violating a no contact order.
Phillips on Wednesday was charged with first-degree homicide, second-degree homicide, first-degree manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault in Gerlach’s demise.
