Fox 9 reported that Alexis Saborit, 42, was charged with second-degree intentional murder in the death of 55-year-old America Thayer, 55. The report said police in the area responded to calls at about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday claiming that a person had just dumped a headless body from a car at the intersection of 4th and Spencer.
The station reported that the witnesses "described seeing a car stop near the intersection and the driver, Saborit, swinging an object near the passenger door. He then reportedly dragged what looked like a body out of the car and walked away from the scene."
