LEE COUNTY, Va. (WYMT) - Virginia State Police and Danville Police arrested Virginia Redden, 41, of Ewing, Virginia on Friday.

The arrest came after Christopher N. Holeman and Amos Lee “Leebo” Hall were taken into custody on Thursday in connection with the death of Jerry L. Wheet, 44, of Ewing, Virginia.

Redden was charged with one felony charge of conspiracy to commit first degree murder.

The case stems from an investigation when officials found Wheet’s body in a wooded area near ATV trails along Valley Springs Road in the Rose Hill community in April.
