Jones and Garnett took Wages' body and truck to a wooded area off U.S. 80 near the Talbot County line, Jones testified last year. The truck was burned and Wages' body was cut into three pieces with an ax. Shallow graves were then dug with the ax less than a mile from the truck, and the body parts buried hundreds of feet apart, Jones told the court.
