Ellis County Sheriffs announced a second arrest was made on April 28 in connection with the March 24 murder of Jordan Von Hoffman.

The Criminal Investigations Division said in a statement that Lauren Danielle Dovers, 25, of Waxahachie, was in custody on a warrant for tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, which is a second-degree felony. A $200,000 bond was announced upon her being booked into the Ellis County Jail.

Texas Criminal Law says the charge of tampering or fabricating physical evidence is illegal. It is interfering with the evidence that could be used for criminal prosecutions. The offense also gives police the right to make an arrest if they believe someone failed to report a human corpse under certain circumstances. It covers altering, destroying, or concealing any evidence that has to do with an ongoing investigation, court proceeding or a crime that has been committed.
