Overview
- Blevins admitted to aggravated manslaughter, a reduction from an initial first-degree murder indictment in Camden County.
- He still faces separate Cape May County charges of desecrating human remains and hindering apprehension.
- Authorities cite license-plate readers showing his pickup hauling a refrigerator-shaped load in late July, and the dumped unit was wrapped in a sleeping bag with blue ratchet straps and carpet.
- Laura Hughes, 50, was found Dec. 22 in Belleplain State Forest and identified by distinctive tattoos along with a yoga mat and necklace recovered at the scene.
- Investigators say Blevins crossed into Mexico on Aug. 2, later surrendered there claiming involvement in a violent incident in Runnemede, and was ultimately identified and arrested in San Diego before extradition.
