Missing Montgomery father found slain; 2 including 16-year-old charged with capital murder
Human remains of a Montgomery man missing for several weeks have been recovered, and two people are charged with capital murder in his death.
Eric Stewart, a 54-year-old father, disappeared on Jan. 8, according to friends and his coworkers at Koch Foods.
On Tuesday, Montgomery police responded to the 3000 block of Simmons Drive on a report of human remains, said Maj. Saba Coleman. Those remains were identified as Stewart.
Within hours of the discovery of Stewart’s body, detectives took two suspects into custody, including a teen.
Zackell Grove, 16, and Wesley Speaks Jr., 26, are charged with capital murder.
Charging documents against Speaks say Stewart was shot to death during a robbery. No additional details were immediately released.
Both are being held without bond.
Stewart, according to friends, was a great man who loved his kids and just wanted to be the best father he could be.
