Charges in killing coming
Preliminary autopsy reports indicated Voegeli-Burton was strangled and appeared to have been a victim of a sexual assault at the time of her death.
Carpenter pleaded not guilty Aug. 23 to criminal damage to property, a class A misdemeanor, and unlawful use of a telephone, a class B misdemeanor.
The charges stem from two incidents which occurred Aug. 9. in which Carpenter allegedly shot at and damaged a pickup truck owned by Keith Whitcomb, Jr., while it was parked at Voegeli-Burton's residence. Court records indicate Carpenter left a threatening message on Whitcomb's phone that same day.

Carpenter makes court appearance
A Darlington man suspected in the murder of his former girlfriend appeared in court Tuesday for two misdemeanor charges in a separate incident. He has not been charged in the murder.
Court records indicate Whitcomb was at Voegeli-Burton's home Aug. 9 when they heard a noise outside at about 11:15 p.m. Whitcomb later told officers he thought the sound was thunder. Whitcomb told officers he left Voegeli-Burton's home around 11:30 p.m.
Whitcomb also reported Carpenter left a threatening message on his phone.
The next morning, Whitcomb tried to call Voegeli-Burton but was not able to reach her. He later discovered a bullet hole in the side of his truck.
Carpenter was taken into custody Aug. 10 and held as a person of interest in the death of Voegeli-Burton, 29, whose body was discovered in an abandoned mine shaft Aug. 10 west of Wood Road in Darlington township, several hours after she was reported missing.
