Thanks for the update links. I watched our local news this evening, but there was no additional info to what the links have provided.
I'm a little perplexed how those 2 men were able to simply pull off the side of the Northway off-ramp and proceed to hide her body. There's usually quite a lot of traffic there. Maybe the tip the LE received re: came from a passerby noticing something happening there. I'll keep watching for more info, as I'm able.
Edited to add: LE said the tip indicated she had been murdered, so it sounds like someone who either witnessed or heard the killers talk, rather than a stranger passing by in a car.

Both Kakavelos and Duffy are scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Malta Town Court today at 2 p.m.

Kakavelos appeared before Malta Town Justice James Fauci on Tuesday wearing a bulletproof vest. His lawyer, Kevin O’Brien, told reporters his client had received death threats. Duffy did not appear, apparently waiving a preliminary hearing.

Curious as to a motive here.

Both Duffy’s and Kavavelos’ next court date in Malta is Dec. 12 at 2 p.m., but it will more than likely be moved to the Saratoga County Court calendar before then since both men were indicted.

Indictment: Allyzibeth Lamont murdered in Johnstown, not Malta

Allyzibeth Lamont was murdered in Johnstown, not Malta, as authorities alleged when they initially charged the two men accused in her death, according to an indictment handed up against them recently.

The indictment also accuses the pair of concealing, altering or destroying evidence in the case across six separate jurisdictions over three counties. It also provides a time frame for when the men are accused of concealing her body in Malta, Oct. 29-30.

...

The concealment of a human corpse charge provides the time frame for when authorities believe Duffy and Kakavelos buried Lamont's body off the Northway exit. They allegedly did so on or about Oct. 29 to Oct. 30, the indictment reads.

State police located Lamont's body after they received a tip to the possibility Lamont's body could be in the marshlands near the Exit 13S ramp from Route 9 to Interstate 87. State police said the tip indicated she had been murdered.
