27-year-old Mark Lamont Neamo and his friend, 18-year-old Christopher Brian Krug, were arrested on Wednesday in Fremont, Nebraska, on abduction and firearms charges.
An April grand jury will decide whether they'll be charged with murder as well.

Joyce Parrish was killed ... her coworker, Steve Rivera, was injured.
They did not know the two suspects.
Neamo's coworker at the Famous Anthony's on Williamson Road says Neamo disappeared two weeks ago, after police came there looking for him.
