A 29-year-old woman has been arrested for murder after police say they found a ‘hidden grave’ in the crawl space of her Colorado apartment.
Casie Bock is being held without bond at Aurora Jail after being arrested on Tuesday night for accessory to homicide, officials said.
Neighbors told FOX31 they were shaken.
“It’s enough to send shivers down your spine, make your skin crawl,” Paula Kinningham, who lives in the building, told the station.
“I’ve heard a lot of frantic behavior, to be honest with you. I just thought she was on drugs,” a neighbor said.
“She would have loud music. I could hear hammering and drilling and a grinder, all sorts of things,” another neighbor said.
The case stems from a tip police received on Monday about a homicide six to eight months ago, officials said.
The information indicates that a 36-year-old man missing since the summer of 2022 was buried in a crawl space and covered in concrete in a condo, authorities said.
Homicide detectives responded and found the grave hidden under the ground. Detectives, working with contractors, said they expected to search throughout the week.
The victim’s identity has not been released as investigators are awaiting confirmation before notifying the family. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will release the man’s identity and how he died.
Police said they identified a second suspect in custody in another jurisdiction in a separate incident. They did not specify.
