Two former Marines have been arrested in Boone County, Ky., where authorities have charged them and a third man with kidnapping, torturing and dismembering a young man whose remains were found scattered in several locations.

Stephen E. Harkness, 22, and Jeffrey W. Allen, 21, both of Verona, Ky., along with Anthony Baumgartner, 23, of Florence, Ky., were arrested early Tuesday and charged with kidnapping, torture, murder and dismemberment, the Boone County Sheriff’s Department announced. The three men were being held without bail and were scheduled to make their first court appearance Thursday.

“Detectives were led to an undisclosed location in Verona... where they discovered the torso and some dismembered body parts of a white man wrapped and discarded in a field,” the sheriff’s department said in a news release. Detectives “also learned the missing body parts had supposedly been disposed of in a Dumpster in Florence.” Investigators also combed a landfill in Butler, Ky.
