Under police questioning, Troy Mitteness admitted killing his mother because he had spent all her money and she was pressing him to see an accounting of her finances.
He said he went online to research ways to kill her and stabbed her in the neck on June 2, 2022.
Two days later, he dismembered her body and put the parts in tote bins, which he put in his car. He drove from Burnsville toward Appleton, Minn., and tossed body parts into a roadside ditch as he drove.
He said he left two of the bins behind an abandoned rest stop on Hwy. 7 near Willmar. Officers went to the property, where the owners confirmed it had been a rest stop. After buying the parcel, the owners said they found the bins and moved them to a burn pile. Officers then took the bins as evidence.
