Joseph Lawson, 32, pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of criminal conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
A Kentucky man was arrested last week and charged in connection with the cold case vanishing of Crystal Rogers eight years ago.
Lawson was first indicted on the tampering charge on June 21, but the case was sealed until Thursday, local outlet WDRB said, citing court records. The indictment on the conspiracy charge was handed down on July 24, the outlet said. Lawson’s bond was set at $500,000 and he is due in county court again on Oct. 26. He is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair, and is being held alone in a cell with accommodations for handicapped inmates, WDRB reported.The conspiracy charge indicates that prosecutors do not think Lawson acted alone, though he is the only person currently publicly charged in the eight-year-old cold case.
