Two Facing Charges in Douglas Death Case
A Powder Springs man is one of two individuals facing charges after a Dallas musician's body was left beside a store's Dumpster.
A Douglas County judge Monday denied bond for two people accused of dumping a Dallas musician's body by a Dumpster, according to the Douglas County Sentinel.
Kaleigh Rene Denig of Douglasville and Zachary Ryan Shipp of Powder Springs were arrested June 8, about two weeks after Topper Duffy, 24, died of an apparent heroin overdose. The pair allegedly tried to conceal Duffy's death by disposing his body beside a Dumpster at the Dollar General on Central Church Road, according to a warrant obtained by the Sentinel.
Denig, 21, and Shipp, 22, are charged with concealing death of another for their roles in the incident.
