WICHITA, Kan. — A Wichita man has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a Hutchinson man whose body is still missing.

A criminal complaint was filed Thursday against 53-year-old Jeffery Lee Hill. Hill was arrested earlier in the week on suspicion of second-degree murder in the death of 50-year-old Jeffery Jones. The complaint says Jones was killed on or around Dec. 9. 

Police had received a tip that Jones was dead and his body was buried somewhere outside of town. The man who contacted authorities said Jones was killed at a home and Hill was involved.
