Man sentenced to 69 years for 2016 murder, dumping body off Tennessee cliffMUNCIE, Ind.
(WISH) — A 46-year-old Jamestown, Tennessee, man was sentenced to 69 years in prison Wednesday for killing a Muncie man and dumping his body off a cliff in Tennessee in 2016.
Shelden cleaned the scene, put the body in a plastic tote and drove to Tennessee, where he dumped the remains off a mountain overhang.
In October 2016, Shelden led investigators to the cliff in Fentress County, Tennessee.
“In 2016, the Defendant brutally murdered Mark Trent and dumped his body off a cliff in Tennessee like a piece of garbage,” Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman said.
