In court records filed earlier this week, prosecutors said Rowland told a former sister-in-law in January that she had blacked out from drinking that night and was awakened by Harris screaming that Wadda was raping her. Rowland said she tried to help Harris, but that Harris hit her, which made her angry and then both she and Wadda beat Harris. Rowland told her sister-in-law that they wrapped Harris' body in a sheet and dragged it outside. Wadda said he moved it the next day...

Wadda had also been charged with murder and aggravated sexual abuse, but those charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement in which Wadda agreed to testify against Rowland.

Eugenia Ann Rowland, 42, of Pine Ridge, S.D., pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which is killing with malice aforethought. She faces a maximum of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. Rowland had no plea agreement.

Co-defendant and common-law husband, Garrett Sidney Henderson Wadda, 35, a transient, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact. He had a plea agreement. Wadda faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

U.S. District Judge Susan Watters set sentencing for both defendants for Feb. 12.

A couple admitted in U.S. District Court on Friday that they were responsible for the murder of a Lame Deer woman last summer, but details about what happened or what caused the victim’s death remain unclear.

Eugenia Ann Rowland, 42, of Pine Ridge, S.D., pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which is killing with malice aforethought. She faces a maximum of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. Rowland had no plea agreement.

Co-defendant and common-law husband, Garrett Sidney Henderson Wadda, 35, a transient, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact. He had a plea agreement. Wadda faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine...

Rowland admitted the three had been drinking over the Fourth of July. Responding to questions by her attorney, Robert Kelleher Jr., Rowland told the judge that she was drunk, there was a fight and that she and Wadda beat Harris.

A South Dakota woman was sentenced Thursday to 22 years in federal prison for the 2013 murder of a woman on Montana's Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.

U.S. District Judge Susan Watters sentenced Eugenia Ann Rowland, of Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Rowland had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last year — just days before her case was to go to trial — in the death of Hanna Harris, of Lame Deer.

Rowland's common-law husband, Garrett Wadda, faces sentencing April 1 after pleading guilty to being an accessory after the fact for moving Harris' body.

Wadda, 36 years old, was sentenced in federal court by Judge Susan Watters to 10 years in prison for the charge of accessory to murder after the fact, for his role in the murder of Hanna Harris...

There was not sufficient evidence in the case to charge Wadda with rape due to how badly decomposed Harris' body was when she was found. Harris was discovered at the rodeo grounds in Lame Deer with her pants down and her shirt and bra pulled up.

In the letter, Daines asks that May 5th be designated each year as a National Day of Awareness in honor of Hanna Harris’s birthday. Harris was a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe who went missing and was later found murdered in 2013.

The letter also mentions Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, Roylynn Rides Horse, Kenzley Olson, and Henny Scott, who was missing for 15 days before her body was found on December 28, 2018.
