Charges Filed In Shelbyville Woman's Death

A man accused of killing a Shelbyville woman has been officially charged by Shelby County prosecutors. 73 year old Sherry Hubbart was reported missing over the weekend before being found dead and Shelby County Prosecutors are accusing Hubbart’s grandson and another man with her death. 

 

25-year-old Clayton Anderson, the grandson of Hubbertt, and 19-year-old Thomas M. Miller of Decatur are being charged in the murder. Anderson is being charged with six counts of first-degree murder, concealment of a homicidal death, and possession of a converted motor vehicle.  Miller is being charged with one count of concealment of a homicidal death and one charge of possession of a converted motor vehicle.

 

The charges against Anderson carry a sentencing range of 20 years to life in prison. Hubbartt’s age also has a factor in the extra murder charges.  The extra charges carry a possible sentencing range of 20-100 years behind bars. Anderson is held on a no-bond warrant while Miller is being held on a $500,000 arrest warrant.

 

The two gentlemen are in custody in Nevada after the Nevada Highway Patrol arrested them on separate charges. The state of Illinois and Nevada are still working on extradition and no court dates have been set.
