The Champaign County Sheriff’s Office investigation into Hostler’s death led them to Rodney Rider Sr. and Valerie Rider, both of St. Paris.
Both were arrested and charged with gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and possessing criminal tools. Valerie Rider was charged with murder, and Rodney Rider is also facing an obstructing justice charge.
Their first court hearing has not been scheduled at this time.
