BLANDING — A man accused of killing two men missing from San Juan County earlier this year is facing additional charges.

Charles Yoo, 35, has now been charged with two counts of abuse or desecration of a human body, according to the San Juan County Attorney's Office.

He is accused of killing Christopher "Topher" Owens and William "Drew" Bull. Both men lived in Yoo's house and had not been seen since Feb 25, then Yoo was charged with their murders roughly two weeks later.

In newly released information, authorities said the two men died of gunshot wounds and their bodies were found in Arizona.

On March 22, the San Juan County Sheriff's Office confirmed both men were deceased. Their bodies had been taken to the Office of the Medical Examiner for further examination.

In addition to two counts of aggravated murder and two counts of desecration of a human body, Yoo is also facing one count of obstruction of justice.
