Additional remains were found over the weekend as the investigation into the murder of Kraig Kubik continued. The additional remains showed that Kubik was shot in the head with a 9mm handgun before being dismembered. Dakota County Attorney Kim Watson said the nature of the crime and the previous criminal record justified the 5 million dollar bail.
