A Miami County, Kansas District Court judge dismissed obstruction charges against Heather McJunkins, 47, Carthage, who had been charged with interfering into the investigation of the murder of her daughter-in-law Kenia Lopez.
Lopez’ body was discovered June 13 in an abandoned camper at 600 Main Street in Carthage.
Miami County authorities believe McJunkins’ son Gavino Macias, murdered the woman in Kansas then took her to Carthage and abandoned the body.
The next hearing for Macias, who is charged with second-degree murder, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
