ILLINOIS - A severed arm with a distinctive Green Bay Packers tattoo led investigators to identify a Plainfield man whose remains were recovered from Lake Mattoon, and two people have now been charged in the case, including the man's mother, Illinois State Police said.
James Adams, 26, and Robin Turner, 62, are each charged with concealment of a homicidal death, a Class 3 felony, and dismembering a human body, a Class X felony.

Authorities searched the lake and recovered additional human remains. The victim was later identified as 38-year-old Dalewayne Turner of Plainfield.
Investigators executed a search warrant Wednesday at a home in the 2400 block of Ruth Fitzgerald Drive in Plainfield, where Adams and Robin Turner were taken into custody, state police said. Robin is reportedly Dalewayne's mother.
Police said investigators also recovered additional evidence from the home but have not disclosed what was found.

Illinois State Police presented the case Thursday to the Will County State's Attorney's Office, which approved the charges.
Adams and Turner remain in custody as the investigation continues. State police said additional charges are expected.
