The third and final defendant involved in the murder of a 18-year-old hitchhiker pleaded guilty to her charges.
Montanna Reed of Twin Falls, along with co-defendants Nicholas Vandenberg and Willie Rabey, were arrested in connection to the death of Hunter Tash-Smith in 2017.
Tash-Smith was hitchhiking at the time, from Oregon to Nebraska for a job.
The Idaho Press reports, Reed was initially charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and failing to report a death. She pleaded guilty instead to felony conspiracy to commit second-degree murder and failing to report a death as part of a plea deal that included taking the death penalty off the table in her case.
Reed’s sentencing is set for early September. All three defendants could face life in prison.
