Muddy Waters daughter faces murder charge
The daughter of blues artist Muddy Waters was arrested for murder by detectives investigating the shooting of a man during a drug deal in 1996.
Rosalind Morganfield, 34, surrendered to police in Florida yesterday after a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Timothy Harrington, 19, was shot during a deal involving 3lbs of marijuana, authorities said. His remains were found in 2000.
The identification of Harrington’s remains led detectives to focus on Waters’ daughter and David Myhand, 38. Police did not say what tied them to the crime.
Morganfield and Myhand were charged with first-degree murder and could get the death penalty.
Myhand was arrested on Wednesday and held without bail.
It was not immediately known if Morganfield had a lawyer.
Muddy Waters died in 1983.
