James Brenner, charged with the murder of Dylan Rounds, pleaded guilty to murder in a plea deal that included providing the location of Rounds' remains. This plea bargain resulted in a lesser charge of second-degree murder, and the dismissal of a charge for desecration of human remains. Brenner also pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing a firearm as a restricted person. Rounds' family expressed relief that they could finally bring him home, but criticized the lenient sentence for murder. In response to this outcome, Rounds' family launched a non-profit called Dylan's Legacy to support families dealing with missing loved ones.
