SKOWHEGAN (AP) – The murder trial of a 37-year-old Canaan man is scheduled for late spring, nearly two years after his girlfriend’s body was found in woods near his mobile home.
Shannon Atwood is set to go on trial June 3 in Somerset County Superior Court for the death of Cheryl Murdoch, 37, whose body was found in August 2006.
Atwood was also charged initially with the murder of his estranged wife, Shirley Moon-Atwood, but that charge was dropped in November. Moon-Atwood was last seen in March 2006 and her body has never been found.
Atwood remains in the Somerset County Jail, unable to post $200,000 bail.
