Jury Finds Jordan Collins Sr. Guilty of Killing Son, Disposing of Body Later Found in a Landfill
Prosecutors finished their case after tracing the remains from a dumpster to the Elk River landfill, where investigators found a torso.
- On Wednesday, an Anoka County jury found Jordan Collins guilty of second-degree intentional murder in the death of his 16-year-old son, Manny Collins.
- The verdict follows Manny's disappearance on May 8, 2025, when he went missing from his father's apartment; his remains were recovered from an Elk River landfill weeks later.
- Prosecutors presented DNA evidence identifying Collins' blood on apartment floor and bedding, while autopsy results indicated "evidence of decapitation by knife," a criminal complaint states.
- Collins is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 2; Anoka County Attorney Brad Johnson stated, "None of us should outlive our children," reflecting the case's community impact.
- To assist with sentencing, the judge requested the jury answer 10 additional questions about the crime; however, court documents have not revealed a possible motive for the killing.
