After a two month investigation by the Atwood Police Department, and review of the case by Douglas County State’s Attorney Robert Kosic, two arrest warrants were issued.
Matthew Arbuckle was served with arrest warrants for concealment of death and obstructing justice at the Coles County Jail, where he was being held for a probation violation.
An arrest warrant was also issued for Haylee Bowles for obstructing justice but she has not yet been located.
Atwood PD said that new information found during the Meyha Evans death investigation, along with other factors, prompted the department to reopen the investigation into the death of Eian Urban, a 19-year-old man who died on Jan. 20 of this year.
