A man convicted of murdering his wife eight years ago has finally shown investigators where he buried her body — in exchange for access to an Xbox gaming console and other privileges in prison.
Douglas Stewart led a team of police and medical examiners to the wooded burial site in Wakeshma Township in Kalamazoo County on Monday. He was convicted in 2011 of killing his estranged wife, Venus Stewart, but her remains were never found.
"He really showed no emotion — he was pretty matter-of-fact," said St. Joseph County Prosecutor John McDonough. "He walked the detectives right to where it was and there it was."

The remains were buried in a 5-foot-deep hole. Its size helped to confirm the previous knowledge that the murder was premeditated, said Detective Sergeant Todd Petersen. Investigators also uncovered a blue tarp that acted as a key piece of evidence during the case.
Stewart buried the remains in a tree-lined area that he used to visit with his father as a teenager, about 15 minutes from the alleged site of the murder at Venus' parents house. Police had searched dozens of areas nearby but never the specific place that he led them yesterday.
On Tuesday, medical anthropologists at Western Michigan University will perform dental or X-ray tests to confirm that the remains are those of Venus Stewart.
In exchange for the recovered remains, Stewart's unit in Saginaw Correctional Facility will receive access to an Xbox in their free time, and Stewart will be granted the privilege of release under supervision for his parents' funerals at some point in the future.
The Xbox will be a "special" model that does not allow an internet connection, McDonough said.
