Joseph Robert Zoran, 37, was charged with homicide on Friday, March 23.
The body of 67-year-old Robert Jack Counterman Jr. was found March 11 by rabbit hunters in a ditch in Gratiot County's Seville Township, about 105 miles northwest of Detroit.
At the Otsego County Circuit Court in June, Zoran was charged with three counts of possession of child pornography.
He is being held without bond at the Otsego County Jail.
Counterman's last known address was in the Gaylord area in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula.
The death is being investigated as a homicide, but Counterman's cause of death hasn't been released.
