RAYMONDVILLE -- State police investigators have found remains off of Grantville Road they believe are those of Jason Wing, a Fort Covington man who has been missing since August 2010.

State police yesterday arrested Dustin Trimm, 37, of 325 County Rt, 49, Winthrop, and charged him with second-degree murder for the alleged homicide of Wing.

Trimm was convicted in 1997 of third-degree sodomy, making him a convicted sex offender.

As state police were announcing the homicide arrest yesterday, members of state polive Troop B Forensic Identification Unit were at a site off of the Grantville Road in the town of Norfolk, apparently searching for the remains they found today.

Wing, 21 at the time, was last seen alive on Aug. 29, 2010 in the Hopkinton area, but state police said in December 2010 that there might have been telephone contact with him as late as October of that year. He was officially recorded as missing on Nov. 17, 2010.

His mother, Roxanne Stratton, in a letter to the editor last June, was asking the public not to give up on finding her son.

"I am hoping that someone will help us find him," she wrote. "The heartache and pain that his family and I have been going through...not knowing where he is. Please we need help in finding him."

Trimm was arraigned in Norfolk Town Court before Justice George Grubee and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility, to be held without bail.

Troopers say their investigation, with the cooperation of county District Attorney Nicole Duvé, remains under investigation.
