We previously reported Stallard faced first-degree murder and concealing a dead body charges in connection with the incident that led to 44-year-old Crystal Hannah’s death. Stallard was originally charged with second-degree murder, as we’ve reported.

In 2022, Hannah was reported missing, and authorities later found her remains in the 2600 block of Northfolk Road in Elliston.
