In court Wednesday, detectives described the condition they found Quintero in. They said his feet and hands were bound by a cord and that his body was locked inside a large tool box. Detectives believe Fleming put him there and set that box on fire in a rural Sarpy County field...

Quintero was last seen alive with Fleming and John Meyers, Fleming’s cousin... Fleming is charged with first-degree murder and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony. Meyers is similarly charged.
