KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - A man charged with murder in the death of a real estate agent will remain in jail until his preliminary hearing Friday in Kingman.

The Kingman Daily Miner reports (https://bit.ly/2iu91U0) that Al Blanco was taken into custody last week in Youngtown in the death of 40-year-old Sidney Charles Cranston Jr.

Cranston was seen on June 2015 when he was showing a property to an unknown client.



His remains were found on Jan. 7 east of Kingman.

Authorities have determined Cranston’s death was caused by a gun shot and ruled it a homicide.

Blanco hasn’t yet been appointed a lawyer.

He made his initial court appearance Saturday in Cerbat/Kingman Justice Court.
