It was a secret that Doug Stewart held on to for nearly a decade the location of his estranged wifes hidden remains.

It was a longtime secret that he reportedly agreed to give up this week in exchange for access to video games, which hell now be able to play behind bars.

The truth is, without his cooperation and pointing out the location to us, we wouldnt have found it any other way, Michigan State Police Detective Chuck Christensen explained in an interview with MLive.com .

And so it was that on Monday a shackled and handcuffed Stewart led police to a 5-foot-deep hole in a wooded area in Wakeshma Township.

He really showed no emotion he was pretty matter-of-fact, St. Joseph County Prosecutor John McDonough told the Detroit Free Press . He walked the detectives right to where it was and there it was.

Stewart had been convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the 2010 death of Venus Stewart, even though her body was never found.
