A Multnomah County court Thursday arraigned six people arrested in connection with a 2015 murder, revealed when a man’s body was found in a Ridgefield field last summer, and denied release for all of them.
Mark Dencklau, 56, of Woodburn, Ore.; Earl Fisher, 47, of Gresham, Ore.; Tiler Pribbernow, 34, of Portland; and Malichi Watkins, 32, of Camas were arraigned Thursday afternoon on charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping, all in connection to the death of Robert Lee Huggins.
Ron Thompson, 51, of Portland and Kendra Castle, 43, of Gresham were also arraigned Thursday on suspicion of hindering prosecutors in the case.
Loggers found Huggins’ body in an open field in July, and police said it appeared his body had been dumped there.
