Man Pleads Not Guilty in Garage Burial Case | Concord News

A 40-year-old man, Shawn Sullivan, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and improper disposal of a body after the gruesome discovery of Jill Kloppenburg’s remains buried under his garage floor in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The case began when police received a tip in March that Sullivan confessed to shooting and burying Jill — a woman he allegedly met socially and who went missing in January 2025. Investigators found a suspiciously patched section of the garage, confirmed by ground-penetrating radar, and unearthed her remains in a plastic bag. Prosecutors say Sullivan claims it was an accident — he shot her while showing her a gun, then buried her days later. Her friend Cindy Crowley is rallying for justice, calling Jill a wonderful person whose life deserves to be remembered. The case is now set to unfold in court as Sullivan faces serious consequences.
