Murder charges added to Monday case

ADRIAN — The murder case of Raisin Township resident Edward Allen Monday progressed on February 9 when open murder charges were added against Monday’s girlfriend, Tamera Marie Rosenberg and Roger William Younglove of  Adrian.

Rosenberg, 40, and Younglove, 23, both entered not guilty pleas during arraignment in Lenawee County District Court. Carl David Carmody, Younglove’s son, and Isiah Anthony-Paul Castaneda, both 17, face accessory charges.

The court adjourned a preliminary examination for all four suspects to May 9 through 11 to allow completion of a psychological evaluation of Younglove. Court appointed attorney Robert Jameson requested the evaluation, while public defender John Glaser told the court he does not request an evaluation at this time.

Jameson told the court he felt it necessary to request a psychological evaluation for Younglove to determine his competency to assist in his defense against the open murder charge. Judge Jonathan L. Poer ordered Younglove and Rosenberg to remain held without bond.

Lenawee County Prosecutor Burke Castleberry said new evidence from the ongoing investigation caused the decision to charge Rosenberg and Younglove with murder.

The original subject, Devon Douglas Snell, 20, was charged on December 14 with open murder. He is accused of beating Monday to death on the night of November 24. Allegedly, Snell hid Monday’s body in a brushy area along Ranger Highway in Medina Township, with the help of the others. Monday’s body was recovered December 10.

Rosenberg faced arraignment December 14 and was charged with accessory after the fact and obstruction of justice. The court arraigned Younglove, Castaneda and Carmody on January 20 on accessory charges. They, along with Rosenberg, were scheduled for a preliminary examination on February 9 before authorities added open murder charges against Younglove and Rosenberg.

Castleberry said there was a physical altercation at Monday’s trailer at Lee Villa Mobile Home Community the night of his murder about not wanting certain people in his home. No further details were given.

Bonds for Carmody and Castaneda were reduced to $20,000. Their attorney, David I. Goldstein, argued that both 17-year-olds have no criminal history and should not have $500,000 bonds for charges that carry up to five-year prison terms.

Chief assistant Lenawee County prosecutor Scott Baker requested any reduced bonds contain conditions they do not have any contact with witnesses or the victim’s family. Poer ordered these conditions for reduced bonds.

The next hearing is scheduled for Snell on March 2.
