Man Charged with Murder in Nebraska Still in Wyoming

jailBAYARD, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraskan accused of killing a Colorado man and stuffing the body into a barrel that he dumped into a creek remains in Wyoming to face charges in that state.

It’s not clear when 24-year-old Zachary Mueller, of Bridgeport, will return to Nebraska to face murder and weapons charges. He’s accused of killing 33-year-old Pedro Dominguez, of Greeley, Colorado. A farmer found the barrel in a creek near Bayard, Nebraska, on Dec. 4. Nebraska records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Mueller’s behalf.

His Wyoming charges include one for car theft and one for domestic violence.

Morrill County Attorney Travis Rodak said Mueller will return to Nebraska after the Wyoming legal system is finished with him.
