Neighbors told investigators Boots' estranged wife Frances Hamilton and her nephew Keon Wilson-Hawkins, were at Boots' home the night before his body was found.
A search of Boots' house revealed a struggle took place the night of January 9.
Police say cell records indicate Wilson-Hawkins "forcibly abducted" Boots from his home, before leaving him for dead in the field.
Wilson Hawkins and Boots were tracked leaving the home at 4:37 that morning, and arriving at the field around 6:20 a.m.
By 6:30 a.m., records suggest Wilson-Hawkins went back home alone.

On March 8, a Frederick grand jury indicted Wilson-Hawkins on charges of first degree murder, kidnapping and carjacking.
