John Meadows, 58, is scheduled to reappear in court on July 19. Meadows was arraigned and pleaded not guilty in April after he was indicted earlier that month on one count murder and tampering with physical evidence.
Meadows is accused of killing Donna G. Lay who was reported missing on January 27. She was last seen on January 7.
After interviewing Meadows multiple times during their investigation into Layâs whereabouts, the Williamsburg Police Department was able to obtain a warrant to search the apartment shared by the two located on South 10th Street in Williamsburg.
