Neighbors told investigators Boots' estranged wife Frances Hamilton and her nephew Keon Wilson-Hawkins, were at Boots' home the night before his body was found.
A search of Boots' house revealed a struggle took place the night of January 9.
Police say cell records indicate Wilson-Hawkins "forcibly abducted" Boots from his home, before leaving him for dead in the field.
Wilson Hawkins and Boots were tracked leaving the home at 4:37 that morning, and arriving at the field around 6:20 a.m.
By 6:30 a.m., records suggest Wilson-Hawkins went back home alone.
Investigators tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with Hamilton. On February 24, she was found dead in Anne Arundel County. Detectives suspect she took her own life.
On March 8, a Frederick grand jury indicted Wilson-Hawkins on charges of first degree murder, kidnapping and carjacking.
This incident is still an ongoing investigation and if anyone has information, contact the FCSO at 301-600- 2071.
