Prosecutors said Desjardins' husband, Aaron, . Warf's body was found in an abandoned Exeter factory in March.

Corson, 43, of Skowhegan, Maine has been charged with being an accomplice to murder—a more serious charge than what Sarah Desjardins is facing. Corson is being held on no bail in a Maine jail as prosecutors work out an arrangment to bring her to New Hampshire to face her charges.

Warf had a child with Desjardins. Desjardins has another child with Sarah.

Warf was found dead in the abandoned City Concrete Co. factory in Exeter on the morning of March 7. Firefighters discovered her body after putting out a fire in the building. Authorities have declined to say how the fire started.

Aaron Desjardins is currently sitting in jail while a grand jury reviews his case for possible indictment—the step before a trial.
