A federal indictment has been handed down to a Northwest Missouri man for a cattle fraud scheme that resulted in the murders of two Wisconsin men. A federal grand jury in the western district of Missouri charges Garland Nelson of Brayer with one count of mail fraud for a scheme in which he allegedly shot and killed Nicholas and Justin Diemel whose cattle he agreed to care for.
It says Nelson, an employee of his mother’s J4s Farm Enterprises defrauded the Diemels out of $215-thousand-dollars.
