A 29-year-old Michigan man charged in the fatal hit-and-run of a 64-year-old retired nurse allegedly killed her on purpose so he could have sex with her dead body, prosecutors said. Prosecutors upgraded his charges to open murder during a hearing at Van Buren County District Court on Wednesday, after investigators revealed that Martin searched necrophilia-related pornography immediately after Rohrer’s death, ABC 13 reported. Martin led police to Rohrer’s body, about 25 miles southwest at the Three Rivers State Game Area. Van Buren County Prosecuting Attorney Kirk Metzger said that the new allegations were ‘chilling.’"That is a very different set of facts," Van Buren County District Court Judge Michael McKay said during Wednesday’s arraignment, where he confirmed the establishment of probably cause for the open murder charge. McKay also denied bond for Martin, who is being held at the Van Buren County Jail.
