A man who was arrested after police found his mother's body in the trunk of his car and his younger brother, who was also detained by police, were both taking classes at MU.
Police pulled over MU freshman Daniel Sanders, 19, on Aug. 14 in response to multiple complaints his car had been swerving and driving without headlights, Columbia Police Capt. Brad Nelson said. While searching the vehicle, police found a body wrapped in a blanket in the trunk of his Mercury Marquis, Nelson said.
The body was identified as Helen Sanders, his mother. The car was also registered to her, Nelson said.
Daniel Sanders was unwilling to cooperate with initial inquiries regarding the body, Nelson said.
"He refused to answer any questions about the body in the trunk," he said.
Daniel Sanders' younger brother Gary Sanders, 16, who takes classes at MU, was detained in their home on Melrose Drive.
