"Chad Dewayne Brodgon, a Level Plains man who previously lived in the Birmingham area, on Thursday was charged with murder in the slaying. Though authorities have not positively identified the remains, they believe the victim to be 58-year-old Penny Newton, Brogdon’s mother.
Hartford police and Geneva county sheriff’s deputies responded about 5 p.m. Tuesday that day after a citizen called to report a burned vehicle on Alabama Highway 167 near the Choctawatchee River. When they arrived on the scene, they found a vehicle burned beyond recognition along with human remains, said State Bureau of Investigation Lt. Heath Carpenter.
SBI was brought in to lead the investigation. Agents responded and processed evidence at the scene while working with local law enforcement to conduct numerous search warrants and interviews.
On Wednesday, Brogdon was identified as a person of interest. Brogdon was located by a Geneva County deputy and taken to the Geneva County Sheriff’s Office for questioning.
On Thursday, SBI agents obtained arrest warrants for Brogdon, who is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse. The lawmen booked Brogdon, into the Dale County Jail where he is being held without bond.
Brogdon made his first appearance in court Friday. Though it’s unusual for lawmen to provide testimony at first appearances, Carpenter said they did so to show that he should not be eligible for bond.
SBI Special Agent Brian Harvin in charging documents made public Monday stated that Brodgon dismembered the victim and “placed her body parts inside and/or near a burning car.” According to WDHN television station in Dothan, Harvin testified Friday that body parts such as an arm, part of a leg, a skull, ribs, and vertebrae were all found on the passenger’s side of the car.
In the garage of the home, a freezer was found, and when investigators opened it they discovered all the food had been removed except for the top shelf, and that blood was found inside, the television station reported. Harvin said officers believe that the murder took place at the home and was then taken to Geneva County to be burned."
