Junior Lee Beebe Arraigned on Murder Charges

The suspect of killing Amy Henslee and Tonya Howarth has been arraigned on two murder charges today at the Van Buren County’s 7th District Court East in Paw Paw.

Henslee, a 30-year-old stay-at-home mother, had been missing since Monday.

A short time later, authorities discovered the body of Howarth, 36, who they said may have been a girlfriend of Beebe’s.

Authorities found both bodies buried in a wooded area behind a mobile home located about a quarter-mile off County Road 687 in Bangor Township. Beebe was the owner of the property, Lux said.

Beebe’s next scheduled court date is 8:30 a.m. Feb. 8.
