Johnston has pleaded not guilty to murder and abuse of a corpse. He remains in Washington County Jail without bail.
Washington County sheriff’s officials say they learned of the death after receiving a tip about a body in a car.
Court records indicate the car was parked near where Johnston had been living, his mother’s house.
