Summary
In Soldotna, Alaska, Derek Berry’s May disappearance turned deadly when his body was found — confirming a homicide. Suspect Joseph Mesa, 35, faces multiple charges including first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, burglary, and drug offenses after allegedly covering up the crime. Arrested on a separate warrant, Mesa was questioned about Berry’s death, leading to an indictment by a Kenai Grand Jury. More charges may follow as the investigation continues — Mesa is set to appear in court Friday. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
