OGDEN — Sarah Munn was in court Tuesday on charges related to a body found buried in her yard, but the hallway conversation was about the man police say dug the hole.

As to charges against Daniel Rivera, after Munn’s last hearing on Feb. 21, Weber County Attorney Dee Smith said a big question remaining was which county, Davis or Weber, to file them in.

Smith would not comment further after Tuesday’s status conference for Munn, who is charged with obstruction of justice regarding the recovery of the body of Victor Flores, 25, on Feb. 10 in her Roy backyard. Rivera dug the hole where the body was buried, according to court documents tied to the charges against Munn.
