MARSHFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A preliminary hearing has been postponed for a southwest Missouri man accused of killing his wife in 2015 and stowing her body in a freezer for years.

The hearing for Larry Dinwiddie will now be held in July, television station KYTV reported.

Dinwiddie is charged with second-degree murder and abandonment of a corpse. The body of his wife, Cynthia Dinwiddie, was found inside a freezer at a storage facility near Marshfield last November. After Dinwiddie fell behind on rental fees, workers at the storage facility found the body in a running freezer that had been padlocked shut.



Dinwiddie remains jailed on $1 million bond.
