YANKTON, SD-- A South Dakota man accused of killing and dismembering a woman and dumping her body in Michigan has been indicted.
WLUK-TV reports Stephen Falkenberg, 45, is charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter in the death of Tamara LaFramboise, 46.
Her body was found in the Little River in Menominee Township on March 16, not far from a house owned by Falkenberg’s brother. Officials say Falkenberg cut off her head, hands and feet in an effort to conceal her identity. Police used tattoos to ID LaFramboise.
Court documents say Falkenberg told his sister he had an argument with LaFramboise at her Yankton, South Dakota apartment. He claims he pushed her, she hit her head and died.
