CHEHALIS – Corey R. Morgan pleaded not guilty this morning to second-degree murder in connection with the death late last week of his girlfriend Brenda Bail.

Morgan was arrested on Friday after he said he and Bail wrecked on a logging road near Morton but an autopsy showed the 48-year-old woman died from strangulation.

Morgan, 32, who is from Randle but lives in Chehalis according to authorities, remains held on in the Lewis County Jail on $500,000 bail.

A trial date was set for the week of Sept. 9.
