Police find more evidence in Wing murder

NORFOLK — In addition to the body of a missing 21-year-old, state police investigators said Monday they found other evidence at 281 Grantville Road before closing the scene Friday.

“We will not confirm nor deny that we have found the murder weapon,” said Capt. Michael J. Gerard. “We are still processing evidence from the scene.”

According to the autopsy results, Jason M. Wing was identified through tattoos and dental records.

Dr. Michael Sikirica, Albany, who performed the autopsy Friday, determined Mr. Wing’s death was caused by a gunshot wound to the head.

Dustin J. Trimm, 37, of 325 County Route 49, Winthrop, was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting Mr. Wing during the last week of August or the first week of September 2010 and burying his body on the Grantville Road property, according to paperwork filed Wednesday night in Norfolk Town Court.

He was taken to St. Lawrence County Jail and held without bail.

Trimm waived his right to a preliminary trial hearing scheduled for Monday morning in Norfolk Town Court.

District Attorney Nicole M. Duvé said the case was presented to a grand jury Friday, but no indictment has been offered in County Court.

Roxanne Stratton, Mr. Wing’s mother, said Trimm was a friend of her son’s but she has long believed he was responsible for his disappearance.

Trimm has a long rap sheet, including a 1997 felony conviction for sodomizing a 15-year-old boy. He is listed as a Level 2 sex offender in the state registry.

He owned Triple X Adult Super Store in Fort Jackson and was convicted of impaired driving in 2002. He was charged with felony driving while intoxicated in May 2010.
