Charges filed in McDonald County against suspected killer of Carl Junction man

The manhunt that enabled area law enforcement to capture suspected killer Scott Burleson, has resulted in more felony charges being filed in McDonald County.

The McDonald County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed tampering with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest charges Tuesday against Burleson, 30, a former Seneca resident, whose address is listed as Galena, Kansas in court records.

Burleson is charged with second degree murder, robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in Jasper County in connection with the March 2 stabbing death of Seth R. Langford, 36, Carl Junction at South State Line Road, Joplin.

Burleson was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to those charges Monday in Jasper County Circuit Court. His next hearing is scheduled for April 10.
