The remains of a woman found last week in a burn pit in southwest Missouri have been identified.

 The victim has been identified as 27 year old Shaniya Haynes of Joplin. Three men face felony charges of evidence tampering and abandonment of a corpse in connection to the discovery.

 Bradley Keith of Eldorado Springs, Brandon Choate of Lamar, and Jimi Cole of Stockton were all arrested after the remains were found. Keith claimed to investigators that Haynes died of an accidental gunshot wound after he struggled with her over the weapon. The other two men say they were forced at gunpoint to help Keith dispose of the body. All three suspects are being held in the Cedar County Jail.
