2 charged in case of N.J. girl found slain in crawl space

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, N.J. -- Authorities say two men have been charged with murder in the death of a 15-year-old girl whose body was found in the crawl space of a vacant New Jersey home.

Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor said Friday that 23-year-old Derrick Powers and 33-year-old Charles Mosley, both of Rio Grande, were charged with murder and sexual assault in Nicole Angstadt's death.

Both men were in jail on $1 million bail. A spokeswoman for the prosecutor said it wasn't immediately known if either man had an attorney.

Mosley was previously charged with having a sexual relationship with the girl.

Nicole was reported missing on Dec. 1. Two weeks later, her body was found in a crawl space in the Lower Township home.
