BECKLEY -

Months after a missing man's body is found near an abandoned coal mine in Raleigh County, an arrest is made.

Raleigh County Sheriff's deputies arrested Chuck Young, 40,  on September 12.  He faces murder charges in the death of Frankie Accord.

The case was presented to the Raleigh County Grand Jury and Young was then picked up without incident.

Young is being held in the Southern Regional Jail awaiting arraignment.

The victim, Frankie Accord, 65, went missing from his home in Glen Daniel in February of 2012. His body was found near an abandoned coal mine in that area in March.
