Police had not said who they were focusing their investigation on, only saying they had learned certain information that led them to believe the “apparent homicide” was an isolated incident.
“Stoughton Police and the Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Detective Unit have been working non-stop to collect evidence and intelligence in this case,” District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement. “When probable cause was met to obtain the warrant, we began working with the Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section of the Massachusetts State Police and law enforcement partners in the region.”
He is charged in the death of Amber Buckner, a 40-year-old mother of four who was found dead Tuesday morning in an outbuilding behind a home in Stoughton, Massachusetts.
