DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — A Houston County Judge has reduced the bond of a cold case murder suspect from Dothan.

On Wednesday, Dwight Mills had his $1.5 million bond reduced to $150,000.

Mills is charged with one count of murder and abuse of a corpse in the 2001 murder of his wife, Sharon Mills.

Dothan Police Investigators say Mills killed his wife in Houston County before driving to Bonifay, Florida, and dumping her body in a ditch just after Christmas in 2001. She was found by an inmate cleanup crew in Bonifay, Florida, about a month after her disappearance.

In early March, Mills first asked for a bond reduction, but Judge Lewis denied that first request.
