The 45-year-old was charged with second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse and arraigned Monday in Ticonderoga Town Court. A recorded message on the court’s phone line says his case has since moved to a grand jury. He had been scheduled to appear at 1 p.m. in town court, which has since been canceled.
