- Boaters discovered a severed arm in Lake Mattoon on Sunday, June 28, prompting the investigation after witnesses initially believed the remains were dead fish rather than human remains.
- Investigators identified the victim as 38-year-old Dalewayne Turner of Plainfield after releasing photos of "distinct tattoos," including a skeleton holding a Green Bay Packers helmet, to seek public assistance.
- Officers arrested Adams and Turner on July 1 after executing a search warrant at a home in the 2400 block of Ruth Fitzgerald Drive in Plainfield, where additional evidence was recovered.
- Court records indicate Adams and Turner filed emergency protection orders against Dalewayne Turner last spring, while state police confirmed the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected.
