More Information Released, Investigation Continues Into Body at Camdenton Home

A partial identity is released and a person of interest is in custody in connection with a body found on Sunday at a home north of Camdenton.  The Camden County Sheriff’s Office says the body is that of a female, but because it is so badly decomposed, further testing will have to be done to confirm an identity.  DNA analysis will be performed by a laboratory in Texas.  Investigators believe the woman was the renter of the home in Camelot Estates.  On Tuesday evening, 30-year old Jamison Shelton was taken into custody at a Jefferson City motel on unrelated charges.  He is not being called a suspect in the case but a person of interest.  Shelton is a known associate of the woman and was also a recent roommate.  The Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing at this time.
