Man on Probation for Hiding Body | Minneapolis News
Description
A Minneapolis man, Christopher Hawkins, 50, just got sentenced to five years probation after admitting he helped move a murdered body — but his prison time is on hold. The crime ties back to July 2024, when Josephine Powers shot and killed 70-year-old Michael Riccio in Burnsville; Powers already faces over 21 years. She told cops Hawkins helped transport the body to his home, where investigators found remains in a shed. Hawkins claimed he was paid with a truck to move “a package” — describing a gruesome scene of blood, garbage bags, and rugs. He wrapped the body in a tarp, loaded it into his truck, and cleaned up the mess. He’s already served 110 days and could face up to 68 months if he violates probation.
