A person of interest in the suspicious death of an 18-year-old Michigan woman, who was found buried in a fresh grave outside his home two weeks ago, may post bond in a separate case, authorities said Monday.
Joshua Wirgau, 34, had a $500,000 bond set after appearing before a judge in an Alpena County court on Monday for the alleged kidnapping of a tow truck driver on Sept. 21, WPBN-TV reported. Wirgau had been held without bond until the judge’s decision.
Wirgau is currently a person of interest in the suspicious death of Brynn Bills, whose body was discovered buried on his property on Naylor Road on Sept. 28 after investigators acted on an anonymous tip, the Michigan State Police previously said.

Bills was last seen alive on Aug. 1 in the Alpena area. A cause of death has yet to be determined and police said the autopsy results may take months.

When investigators found Bills’ body, Wirgau was already in jail on charges of unlawful imprisonment and felonious assault relating to the alleged kidnapping of the truck driver.
Another man accused of the truck driver’s kidnapping, Brad Srebnik, also had a $500,000 bond set. He faces the same charges as Wirgau. Both men would have to wear ankle monitors should they post bond.
Srebnik was also accused of kidnapping the tow truck driver on Sept. 21 and had a bond set for $500,000. Police have not said that Srebnik is connected to the Bills case. (Michigan State Police)
Meanwhile, police are asking for help in locating a third person allegedly involved in the tow truck driver’s kidnapping.
Police said 31-year-old Abby Renee Hill "is considered a missing and possible endangered person." She is wanted on felony warrants of unlawful imprisonment and felon in possession of a firearm in connection to the Sept. 21 incident.
