Suspects take plea deal in local couple’s death
Two people arrested in a double murder near the Lake of the Ozarks are now heading to prison.
On Monday Garland and Mandy Mitchell both entered guilty pleas on reduced charges for drugs in last year’s deaths of Freddie and Carol Wilson in Morgan County.
Prosecutors say the suspects drove to the couple’s home south of Versailles in February 2013 looking for prescription drugs.
A third person, Daryl Spellmeyer, was arrested with blood on his hands and clothes. He has already admitted to shooting and stabbing the victims.
Deputies actually got a call from Carol Wilson before she died, saying she had been shot in the head.
Garland Mitchell was sentenced to eight years on Monday, and Mandy received 12 years.
