Tationa Williams is accused of killing her 23-year-old boyfriend Hayden Blair in February and then transporting his body across county lines to a shallow grave.

She appeared in court on First Degree Murder, Tampering with Evidence, Abuse of a Corpse, and theft charges. The court reset her hearing for August 24.

Blair was reported as a missing person and the investigation led to the Jackson Police Departments Special Victims Unit interviewing Williams. During the interview and investigation, JPD said they received information that led investigators to a home on Southside Drive.

Investigators discovered evidence of a shooting that took place at the home. A few days later, the investigation led police to a home in the 1100 block of Howard Road in Chester County.

Blair's body was located in a shallow grave at the home in Chester County.

After Blair's remains were located, JPD Chief Thom Corley released a statement acknowledging JPD's role in the investigation.
