A suspect in the killing of a Highlandville man has entered an Alford plea to second-degree murder, according to court records. Teri Dean-Morrison entered the plea last week before Judge J. Edward Sweeney in Stone County...

The judge found Dean-Morrison guilty, and she will be sentenced at a later date. The Alford plea was made a day after jury selection began for Dean-Morrison's trial.

Another suspect in the case, Cheryl Crawford, pleaded guilty to two counts of evidence tampering last year and received eight years in prison. A third suspect, Eugene Crider, entered an Alford plea to second-degree murder and received life in prison last month.

Selby says an argument over money may have boiled over as well and that Crider, who was holding an ax handle, began beating Anderson with it. Cheryl Crawford left.

When Cheryl met up with Teri later that night Dean-Morrison told her that they needed to pick up cleaning supplies on the way home. When they returned to the Akita Run house doors and windows were broken, there was blood on the walls and ceiling and Anderson lay dead on the floor wrapped in a comforter.

The trio then loaded Anderson’s body into Crawford’s van and drove his remains to the property of Dean-Morrison’s employer and former boyfriend Earl Kearney. There they burned the body and scattered the remains around the vast property. It was in a pond on the property that investigators found Anderson’s charred liver.
