Gibson allegedly moved the trash bag to a different area and hid the victim's remains. He did not contact police.
On December 23, the bag was found at a property on Beatty Street by a landlord. Officials say Gibson was evicted from his home on Beatty Street back in November.
The human remains in the bag had decomposed, but Middlesex officials are performing an autopsy.
