Bills was last seen in August 2021, shortly before she would have turned 18 years old. Michigan State Police identified Srebnik, Joshua Wirgau and Hill as being potentially involved in Bills’ disappearance. Her body was unearthed in Wirgau’s yard in Alpena Township more than a year later.
Police believe Srebnik and Wirgau killed Hill to stop her from revealing information about Bill’s murder.
