Second Arrest Made in Connection to Woodbridge Death Investigation

Prince William County police have arrested a second suspect in connection to a death investigation that began last month in the 13200 block of Trowbridge Drive.

Aguilar

Jonathan Alberto Aguilar, 21, of Hazelton Drive in Woodbridge, was taken into custody on March 24 and charged with concealment of a dead body. He is being held without bond, and a court date has not yet been set.

Police previously arrested Maurice Jermaine Waller on February 20 in connection with the same case. Both men are accused of transporting and concealing the remains of Robert Patrick Hearn, 42, of Annandale, whose body was discovered in the roadway on February 8.

Officers responded to the scene at 7:17 a.m. that morning, where they found Hearn’s decomposed body. An autopsy determined there were no immediate signs of trauma, and detectives believe he died elsewhere before his body was moved to Trowbridge Drive.

Police say the case does not appear to be random. The investigation remains ongoing.
