Morgan County murder case moved to Moniteau County
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A man charged with murder in a 2025 Morgan County shooting had his case moved to Moniteau County on Monday.
Robert Anselmo, 56, of Eldon, was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Johnetta Yeager. He is being held at the Morgan County Jail without bond. A judge granted the defense’s motion for a change of venue on Monday. A new court date has not been announced.
Police found a small SUV in the parking lot with the driver's door open and Yeager, positioned as if she was getting out of the vehicle when she was shot, according to the probable cause statement in previous reporting.
Versailles police later said in a news release they found an unconscious woman with a head wound when they responded to a shooting in the 100 block of South Burke Street.
Court documents in previous reporting say a witness claimed Yeager had been sitting in her vehicle with the door open when a gunshot rang out.
Investigators found surveillance footage that linked Anselmo's vehicle to the scene, the statement says. Yeager had previously sought a protection order against Anselmo and was in a civil suit against him, according to previous reporting.
