BISMARCH, Missouri - An eastern Missouri man is facing second-degree murder and drug-related charges after a woman died in what investigators call a mobile meth lab explosion.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested 30-year-old Robert Bunch Jr. of Doe Run on Tuesday, and prosecutors filed charges on Wednesday. Bunch remained jailed and did not yet have a listed attorney.
The explosion occurred on Dec. 30 on a highway in Bismarck, Mo., and Kimberly Bell died a week later from injuries in the fire. The patrol says Bunch was driving the vehicle that had the meth lab in it.
