Jon Rubendall and James Bost were charged in connection with the death of Allen Pafford June 20 at a workshop near his mother’s home in Nodaway, Iowa.
Adams County authorities said Mr. Pafford was found with a bed sheet wrapped around his neck and a gunshot wound to the back of his head. Pafford’s funeral was held on Monday.
According to the official complaint filed in the case, Pafford owed Rubendall $3,000 for drugs. Bond was set at $1,000,000.
On Tuesday, the two defendants appeared in a Brown County courtroom to waive their right to an extradition hearing. They are being held pending transportation back to Adams County, Iowa.
