Anderson's body was found near the body of Joe Lee Richards Jr. outside 2902 W. Main St. in Traskwood.

The resident, Marissa Wright, 50, was arrested Thursday on a capital murder charge in Richards' death.

On Friday, she was charged with a second count of capital murder in Anderson's death.

A second woman, 53-year-old Myra Terry, was charged Friday in connection with Richard's death. The Benton Police Department said Terry, a live-in home health worker, was arrested without incident on charges of hindering apprehension, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.

She is in the Saline County jail awaiting a bond hearing.

Investigators were led to the Traskwood home earlier this week while investigating Richards' disappearance. He had been reported missing about a year ago.
