One Twin Indicted With Murder, Robbery In Death Of Fromer PNJ Reporter

November 28, 2012

One of the twin brothers arrested in connection with the death of a former Pensacola News Journal reporter was indicted Tuesday for his role in the crime.

Tuesday an Escambia County grand jury indicted William Cormier, 31, for robbery and first degree murder in the death of Sean Dugas. His twin, Christopher Cormier, remains charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder. Prosecutors are continuing to review Christopher Cormier’s involvement in the crime. Once the review is completed, additional charges may be filed by the State Attorney’s Office.

Dugas was reported missing on September 13, 2012. His body was discovered buried in the backyard of the Cormier residence in Winder, Georgia. An autopsy determined Dugas died from blunt force trauma. An investigation later determined Dugas was murdered August 27 in Pensacola.

    Don’t know how you could have missed it; it was very big news in September/October. He was murdered for his many-of-thousands of dollars worth of game cards- Magic, I believe. They sold the cards at several places on their way back to Georgia.
