Harley Wildmann, 42, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree desecration of human remains, and tampering with evidence, as well as various weapons offenses, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri said in a release alongside local officials on Wednesday, July 27.
Ewing resident Lisa Lloyd's severely burned body was found in the Clover Avenue cemetery in Hamilton Township at approximately 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday, July 26, Onofri said.
According to investigators, Wildmann, of Hamilton, was seen with a female passenger near Clover Avenue driving a two-tone Chevy S10 pickup truck bearing NJ registration before he stopped for several minutes near the area where the remains were found, authorities said.
A short time later, a large fire was seen next to his truck.
Wildmann was stopped and questioned before being taken into custody on Tuesday, July 26. His female passenger was released.
A motion has been filed to detail Wildmann pending trial.
