A Southern California man has been charged with beating to death a former reality TV show contestant with a hammer and burying her in his backyard.
Jackie Rogers was charged Thursday with murder. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney because his scheduled Thursday arraignment was postponed.
Rogers could face 26 years to life in prison if convicted, AP reported.
The 34-year-old Lennox man is charged with bludgeoning to death Lisa Marie Naegle of San Pedro last Sunday.
A felony complaint includes a special allegation that the suspect used a hammer in the commission of the crime, CBS News reported.
