That was the last contact Tom Britt of the Phoenix Police Department had with Konstantin Simberg before Mr. Simberg's body turned up two days later and 100 miles northwest of Phoenix, in Yavapai County.
For now, three men from the Phoenix area have been indicted on charges of kidnapping and murdering Mr. Simberg, a 21-year-old Russian immigrant, though two of them disappeared after they were released on bail and remain at large. The one in custody, Dennis V. Tsoukanov, 20, a Russian citizen, is scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.
Five other men have been indicted on felony counts related to a scheme first to hijack the shipment of growth hormone from a delivery truck and — when that failed — steal it from the pharmacy that ordered it.

Oh, the caps thing? That wasn't growth hormone. That's what used to happen when I'd log in and log out with capslock on in the old days.
