VANDALIA – A 43-year-old Vandalia man has been charged in connection with the death of 14-year-old Kylie M. Toberman of Vandalia Friday according to Illinois State Police.

ISP presented its case to the Fayette County State’s Attorney’s office Monday, who filed charges against Arnold B. Rivera for two counts of First Degree Murder, one count of Concealment of a Homicidal Death, two counts of Criminal Sexual Assault and one count of Conceal Death. All charges are felonies.
