Lincoln police recover human remains while searching for missing Nebraska couple in Saunders County
AUGUSTINE KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. SCARY STUFF. THANK YOU MADDIE. BACK TO THAT DEVELOPING STORY OUT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY. HOURS AFTER FINDING HUMAN REMAINS, LAW ENFORCEMENT STILL ON SCENE TONIGHT. POLICE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING MULTIPLE AREAS FOR THE BODIES OF HARNEY HANNAH NEVILLE AND HER HUSBAND, ROBERTO TANNER. SO THIS INCLUDES AN AREA THREE MILES NORTH OF MALMO. THAT’S WHERE WE FIND KETV. NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S IZZY. FUNFAIR. JUUL. IZZY, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED TODAY? YEAH. JULIE AND BILL. ABOUT 1000FT BEHIND ME HERE. YOU CAN SEE THERE’S A POLICE PRESENCE ALONG WITH SOME LIGHTS IN THAT TREE LINE OFF TO YOUR LEFT THERE. WHEN WE ARRIVED, OFFICERS WERE SEARCHING THAT FOR SOME EVIDENCE. WHILE THE POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES, THEY HAVE ARRESTED TWO PEOPLE IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR DEATHS. THEY BOTH APPEARED IN COURT TODAY WHERE WE LEARNED SOME NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE ALLEGED CRIME. STERLING JAMES AND SADIE TITUS MADE THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE IN LANCASTER COUNTY COURT THURSDAY, CHARGED IN THE DEATH OF MISSING PREGNANT WOMAN HANNAH NEVILLE AND HER HUSBAND, ROBERTO TANNER. JUST HOURS LATER, LINCOLN POLICE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HAD FOUND HUMAN REMAINS WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING COUPLE. OFFICERS SAY THEY ARE WAITING FOR DNA AND DENTAL RECORDS BEFORE THEY IDENTIFY THOSE REMAINS. INVESTIGATORS SAY NEVILLE DISAPPEARED AFTER SHE DROVE FROM STROMSBURG TO LINCOLN TO PICK UP TANNER. ACCORDING TO THE AFFIDAVIT, TANNER WAS STAYING WITH JAMES BECAUSE HE AND NEVILLE WERE FIGHTING. DURING A BRIEFING ON MONDAY. LINCOLN POLICE CHIEF SEAN MORROW SAID THAT DATA SHOWED NEVILLE’S DEVICE AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, INCLUDING THE LINCOLN LANDFILL, BEFORE IT WENT OFFLINE. AN AFFIDAVIT STATES THAT NEVILLE’S ROOMMATE TRACKED HER PHONE USING THE APP LIFE360. MORROW SAID THEY LATER FOUND THAT PHONE IN NEVILLE’S SUV WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE. OFFICERS CALLED HANNAH THAT MORNING TO ADVISE HER OF THE FIRE, BUT HER PHONE NUMBER WAS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. WE NOW BELIEVE THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS LIKELY ALREADY DECEASED AT THE TIME. WE BELIEVE HE THEN BURIED THEIR BODIES AND SET FIRE TO HANNAH’S VEHICLE. TITUS IS BELIEVED TO HAVE HELPED JAMES AFTER THEY WERE KILLED. A WITNESS TOLD LAW ENFORCEMENT SHE SAW JAMES OUTSIDE WITH A WOMAN, AND THEN SAW ANOTHER WOMAN DEAD ON THE GROUND. ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, IT ALLEGES THAT A SECOND WITNESS TOLD INVESTIGATORS JAMES ADMITTED TO SHOOTING NEVILLE AND TANNER HIMSELF. THE AFFIDAVIT STATES THAT JAMES LATER TOLD THAT WITNESS HE BURIED THE BODIES, THEN DUG THEM UP AND REBURIED THEM AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE DOCUMENT STATES THAT TITUS LATER REPORTED JAMES WAS UPSET ABOUT DISTURBING TEXT MESSAGES HE RECEIVED REGARDING HIS HALF BROTHER. JAMES IS FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES, INCLUDING FIRST DEGREE MURDER AND MURDER OF AN UNBORN CHILD. HE IS BEING HELD WITH NO BOND. TITUS IS FACING ACCESSORY AND TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE CHARGES. A JUDGE SET HER BOND AT 10% OF $1 MILLION. THEY BOTH WILL BE BAC
