ROYAL OAK (AP) — A 31-year-old Detroit-area man has been charged with killing his father, who was found dead with his hands and legs bound.
Dane Matthew Steward of Royal Oak appeared in court Monday on a first-degree murder charge and was ordered held without bond.
Police say they found 73-year-old Dennis Steward’s body last Thursday inside the home the two men shared. An autopsy determined he died from strangulation and had likely been dead for more than a day. His car was missing.
Authorities issued an alert for the vehicle and Dane Steward. A Berrien County Sheriff’s deputy reported he had contact with Dane Steward early last Thursday near the Michigan-Indiana border, where his car had run out of gas.
Steward was arrested last Thursday night after leading police on an hour-long chase through several counties.
It was unclear Monday if he has a lawyer who could comment.
