Sherry Hubbart 2021

Two people have been arrested and charged in the death of 72-year-old Sherry Hubbartt. The Clarksburg woman's body was discovered inside her residence on Sunday. Arrest warrants for 25-year-old Clayton L. Anderson of Shelbyville and 19-year-old Thomas M. Miller of Decatur were obtained Monday through the Shelby County State's Attorney's Office.

Anderson's arrest warrant is for first-degree murder. Authorities say Anderson is charged with committing murder of someone 60 years old or older and someone who had obtained an order of protection against Anderson in Shelby County last October. Anderson is also being charged with concealment of homicidal death and possession of a stolen vehicle. Anderson was also wanted on a warrant for a previous unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle case. 

Anderson is being held on a no-bond warrant. 

Miller's arrest warrant is for concealment of homicidal death and possession of a stolen vehicle. Miller is being held on $500,000 bond.

While Hubbartt's body was found at her home in Shelby County, Anderson and Miller were taken into custody Sunday by the Nevada Highway Patrol for various unrelated charges in Nevada. Miller is being held at the Clark County Nevada Detention Center, while Anderson was transported to a hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada.

During the investigation, the Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 5 was assisted by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department, Decatur Police Department, Shelby County State's Attorney's Office, Nevada Highway Patrol, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
