Two Maquon women accused of murder in the death the former Maquon Police chief before leaving his body in a storage locker made court appearances Tuesday.
71-year-old Richard Young’s remains were found in October 2022, almost a year after prosecutors believe he died.
The Knox County State’s Attorney alleges that both 52-year-old Marcy Oglesby and 78-year-old Karen Doubet poisoned Young in his food or drink over a period of months knowing their actions created a strong probability of his death.
Both women are charged with murder and concealment of a homicidal death.
78-year-old Karen Doubet was arraigned before Judge Andrew Doyle Tuesday after only being charged in September 2024.
Doubet pleaded not guilty and a pre-trial date was set for Mar. 10.
Oglesby who was initially charged in October of 2022, was set for a status hearing Tuesday.
Judge Doyle set hearing dates for Jan. 14 and Jan 30 but said “barring something major happening” Oglesby should go to trial in February.
