According to charging documents, Michael Lawson told his brother he shot Correira when his gun went off during a struggle May 3, 2003, inside a duplex near an apartment rented by Correira. Robert Lawson told police his brother told him to bring some plastic bags and other items to the duplex, located in the city's Bootlegger Cove neighborhood...

Robert Lawson, 48, told police he found his brother and the body of a nude woman in the garage of the duplex. Together that night they drove north in Michael Lawson's Mercedes SUV to dispose of Correira's body - wrapped in plastic and duct tape - at a gravel pit outside Talkeetna.
