After Bowe’s release, investigators were contacted by a witness who reported: “specific conversations with Maxx Bowe” regarding the murder.
This witness allegedly told investigators that Bowe held Nelson’s shoulders while Nelson’s boyfriend, Kodi Bowe shot her in the head.
The witness also said that Bowe confided in them. He told them he placed Nelson's body in a green sleeping bag and sewed it shut with rocks, before dumping the body in Lake Pleasant.
Maxx Bowe is being held on a $375,000 bond.
After his first arrest, Maxx Bowe reportedly admitted to getting rid of the gun and did not think he would be convicted of murder because Nelson’s body was not recovered.
