A man was charged in the suspicious 2015 disappearance<\/a> and presumed death of Crystal Rogers, a Kentucky mom of five who has never been found.<\/p>\n

A grand jury indicted Joseph Lawson, 32, on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and complicity in tampering with physical evidence, according to unsealed court filings in Nelson County, Kentucky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The indictment, which does not mention Lawson by name, said the crimes <\/a>took place on July 3 or 4, 2015, when Lawson allegedly “agreed to aid one or more persons in the planning or commission of the crime or an attempt or solicitation to commit the crime\u00a0when he, and\/or, a co-conspirator intentionally caused the death of another,” WDRB.com reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lawson’s lawyer, Kevin Coleman, confirmed with multiple news outlets that his client was charged but did not divulge any other details. Fox News Digital has reached out to Coleman for comment.<\/p>\n

Lawson is not accused of killing<\/a> Rogers but was allegedly involved in her death in some capacity, which is why he is facing conspiracy charges instead of murder.<\/p>\n

He pleaded not guilty and is being held in jail on $500,000 bond. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years, if convicted of conspiracy, according to WDRB.<\/p>\n

Lawson also allegedly “destroyed, mutilated, concealed, removed or altered physical evidence,” and he can face one to five years in prison if convicted on that charge.<\/p>\n

What the specific accusations against Lawson are, or how or if he knew Rogers, are still unknown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More details are expected to be released as the case winds its way through the judicial system<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawson was originally indicted in July, but he has been in a hospital for an undisclosed reason. He made a virtual appearance at Thursday’s arraignment from the hospital.<\/p>\n

The prosection said during the arraignment that it is a “very complex case” that involves mounds of evidence, which will be turned over to the defense.<\/p>\n

Brooks Houck<\/a>, Rogers’ boyfriend and father of her youngest child, was named by police as a suspect in the early days of the investigation but has never been arrested or charged in connection with her disappearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is believed to be the last person who saw Rogers alive on July 3, 2015. She was reported missing <\/a>by her mom two days later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next day, her purse, keys and phone were found in her abandoned car along a Kentucky highway, but her body still has not been found, which would complicate a potential murder case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rogers’ missing persons case was taken over by the FBI in 2020, when more than 150 law enforcement officers conducted interviews and executed several federal search warrants in a quest for answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FBI<\/a> is also investigating the 2016 fatal shooting of her father, Tommy Ballard, who was found dead while hunting on his own property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
