3 arrested in alleged murder

Authorities have arrested three people in connection with an alleged murder in Bollinger County.

Sheriff Casey Graham posted on social media late Friday afternoon that the trio had been arrested on various warrants, including first-degree murder, in connection with the death of Brianna Roberts, 21, of Illinois.

Kaitlyn Morgan

According to Graham, "it was found that Kaitlyn Morgan and Eric Nanney of Glen Allen, Missouri, were the last known individuals to have had contact with Brianna. The Bollinger County Sheriff's Office was aware of that information due to responding to a dispute at Kaitlyn and Eric's residence involving all three individuals on Wednesday, October 13th, 2021. Once that information was determined, Investigators with the Bollinger County Sheriff's Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control conducted interviews with Kaitlyn, Eric, and Eric's father, Ricky Nanney."

The interviews allegedly revealed Roberts had been shot and stabbed multiple times Wednesday. Graham also said Roberts' limbs had been removed. An autopsy is set for Monday.

Charges the three are facing:

• Eric Nanney -- first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse. He is being held in lieu of $1 million cash-only bond.
• Morgan -- first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse. She is being held in lieu of $1 million cash-only bond.
