2 arrested in 1983 Lee County Murder

Lee County Sheriff's Police have arrested 2 Chillicothe brothers in connection with a murder that took place in the summer of 1983.

68-year old Terry Bobell along with 65-year old Gordon Bobell have been charged with the felony offense of first degree murder.

The arrests came about following a lengthy investigation in the death of Gary Dawson of Peoria on August 28th, 1983. Dawson's body was found in a hog lot south of Franklin Grove. He had been beaten to death.

Bond had been set at 1 million dollars for the Bobells.

Authorities have not released any information which led to the arrest of the 2 men.

A 3rd man has also been arrested in this case. 58-year old Steven Watts of Berryville, Arkansas was arrested in February of 2013 on the charge of first degree murder. The case has never gone to trial in Lee County at this time and Watts is out of jail after posting bond.

Lee County Sheriff's Police were assisted in the investigation by Dixon Police, Peoria County Sheriff's Police, along with the Chillicothe Police Department and Lee County State's Attorney's office.
