The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office started investigating the incident after Edwards’ body was discovered near File Road on April 2.

Jonathan Paul Holshouser, 39, and Bobbi Jo Rowland, 40, were charged last month with concealment of death for allegedly moving Edwards’ body after he died of an overdose in their presence in his home on Hartley Road. Investigators said the two removed his body from the home and drove it to a remote area near the lake to dispose of it in an overgrown ditch.

Concealment of death is just one of the charges Moody now faces. The Sheriff’s Office also charged her with possession with intent to sell or distribute cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. According to the arrest warrant, Moody was in possession of two cardboard bundles containing less than one gram of crack cocaine each, a small cellophane bag containing less than one gram of crack cocaine and two individual crack rocks.

The list doesn’t end there.

Additionally, Moody was charged with driving while license revoked, texting while driving and failing to maintain lane control. She was also charged with failure to appear for shoplifting concealment of goods.

Moody was issued a $36,000 bond and booked in the Rowan County Detention Center.
