Husband Of Murder Victim Pleads Guilty To Burglary
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
William Vroman, formerly of Milford, pleaded guilty to burglary Tuesday in Kosciusko Circuit Court, and a plea agreement could result in two other charges against him being dismissed.
Vroman, 32, was the husband of 48-year-old murder victim Kathy Vroman, whose body was found in January near a wooded area in Michigan several days after he reported her missing. She died as a result of two gunshot wounds to the back of her head and Jason Fisher, 22, of Millersburg, is charged with her murder.
Vroman was one of three men implicated in a Dec. 2 burglary of Rice Ford in Warsaw, from which more than $100,000 in 2001 vehicles were stolen.
Officials said Kathy Vroman's death may have been related to an auto theft ring in which Fisher; his father, Ralph Freddrick Fisher, 46, of Goshen; William Vroman; Lawrence Grant, 29, of Shipshewana; and George W. Aldrich, 28, of Etna Green, were allegedly involved.
If Judge Rex Reed accepts the plea, Vroman would face a maximum of four years in prison, and a related charge of auto theft and an unrelated charge of check deception that are pending against him would be dismissed. Sentencing is set for 8:45 a.m. June 21.
Court documents indicate Kathy Vroman was murdered at Fisher's Milford business, Country Car Co., and her lifeless body was then transported to the location near Three Rivers, Mich., where authorities located it on Jan. 26 with information received from a co-defendant in the case, Lawrence Grant.
Grant pleaded guilty earlier this month to charges of assisting a criminal, a Class C felony, and unlawful movement of a body, a Class D felony. He faces between three and 14 years in prison and fines up to $30,000 when he is sentenced June 7 in Kosciusko Circuit Court.
Ralph Fisher is awaiting trial on a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice, a Class D felony. The original charges filed against Fisher - assisting a criminal and unlawful movement of a body - are expected to be dismissed against him.
Jason Fisher is expected to go on trial for murder on Sept. 13.
Aldrich remains free on bond on charges of burglary and auto theft. [[In-content Ad]]
