EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) -- A Madison County coroner's jury has ruled the deaths of a 19-year-old East St. Louis woman, her 4-year-old cousin and her 7-month-old fetus a homicide.
Madison County Coroner Stephen Nonn said the inquest Wednesday determined that Anquiaette Parker and Cermen Toney Junior died of sharp and blunt force trauma to the chest.
Parker and Toney disappeared in November 2005. Their remains were found last March in a cistern near Collinsville on property once owned by Kevin Reid.
Reid remains jailed without bond on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of intentional homicide of an unborn child and two counts of concealment of a homicidal death.
Madison County State's Attorney William Mudge says he'll seek the death penalty.
