A Belleville man with the murder of his 66-year-old grandmother.
Logan Dyjak was charged Friday and was being held in the St.
Clair County Jail in lieu of $1.5 million bond.

the family home several hours after she returned from a local
hospital where she was being treated for a recent stroke.

Bauer had been strangled and stabbed, and there was a puncture

without incident.
