Prosecutors: Boswell, Trail began looking for someone to murder months before meeting Loofe

Prosecutors: Boswell, Trail began looking for someone to murder months before meeting Loofe

"Prosecutors now allege Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell began conspiring to commit murder more than four months before they met Sydney Loofe, according to court documents.

The allegation arose in a court filing Friday afternoon in the prosecution of Trail, who is accused of strangling the 24-year-old Loofe in Wilber on Nov. 15, 2017.

Assistant Nebraska Attorney General Sandra Allen filed a conspiracy to commit murder charge in Trail's case and alleged he and Boswell began plotting July 1 to kill someone.

In their conspiracy, Boswell "solicited" young women on social-networking sites, Allen said in the filing.

Together, they selected Loofe as their victim and bought tools to kill and dismember her, the amended information said."

Sydney's death was no "accident!" Both of these depraved sub-humans spent months planning to murder and dismember a woman. Sydney was the unlucky one snared in their diabolical scheme. I have no problem with either one of them getting the death penalty. Let them spend every day for the decade or more it will take to come about thinking about their own deaths and living in fear and dread. Such pure evil deserves no less. I hope Boswell's daughter did not inherit whatever psychopathy her mother has. I hope Trail never reproduced. MOO.

I was going to see if Trail has a court hearing before his trial - and usually it comes up but this time I got this:

It’s so impossibly sad to think that Sydney was so excited to meet a “great” girl... and was so misled.

I’m not particularly in favour of the DP... but I hope they fry.

IMO , I have a hard time believing that Sydney was the first girl lured into a devastating trap. They began their plan in July and she was killed in November. It’s sickening to think about, but I think “the hunt” for a victim was part of their thrill... and I don’t think she was the the first victim, especially with the amount of planning that was done. Trail did mention at some point earlier on that he could give info on a similar case.

 

[BoggLed in Ohio]

I have thought from the very beginning that Aubrey Trail is a serial killer, for decades. Is there a map laid out in this thread of his known movements by chance ?

 

[JerseyGirl]

Prosecutors filed a motion to amend the charges against Aubrey Trail.

The motion says Boswell searched through social media for a victim that she and Trail ultimately selected. It also says the two recruited others to commit murder, bought materials used to kill and/or dismember Loofe and jointly disposed of the remains.

The court records don't show a similar motion filed in Boswell's case.

An earlier article.
Man accused in Sydney Loofe murder challenging death-qualified jury


WILBER, Neb. — A man accused of killing and dismembering a Lincoln woman is trying to make sure some of his jurors will oppose the death penalty.

Court documents filed Tuesday show Aubrey Trail, 52, says the death qualification of the jury "violates his rights under the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and Sections 3, 6, 9, 11, and 15 of Article I of the Constitution of the State of Nebraska."
[.....]
If Trail's motion is approved, it would allow for the selection of jurors who oppose the death penalty. It would also mean that jurors wouldn't even know if the death penalty is an option in the case.
[.....]
Attorneys for Trail are also trying to find out whether Nebraska's governor is behind the prosecutors' decision to seek the death penalty.

Snippets of investigator interviews with Aubrey Trail come out at hearing

WILBER -- Before prosecutors charged him with Sydney Loofe's murder, Aubrey Trail told investigators, the attorney defending him against federal fraud charges was "screaming from the rooftops" for him to stop talking.

But Trail kept talking and Lincoln police investigators and FBI agents kept meeting with him as they searched for Loofe's body, and after, in an effort to find out what happened to her.

At a two-hour hearing in Saline County on Wednesday, Ben Murray, one of Trail's court-appointed attorneys, argued the statements he made to them shouldn't be allowed to go before the jury at his murder trial in June.

But what exactly Trail told them wasn't at issue at Wednesday's hearing.


it's pretty long and interesting. check pm

 

[scoodyboo]

Catching up on this article and somewhat taken aback that the FBI gave these two over $1000 each that was apparently on them when apprehended. Weren't they accused of stealing from various people/bad checks/forgery, etc.? Yeesh.


Snippets of investigator interviews with Aubrey Trail come out at hearing

Ben Murray, one of Trail's court-appointed attorneys, argued the statements he made to them shouldn't be allowed to go before the jury at his murder trial in June...

Murray also argued that Trail's statements were made in exchange for promises of money, his medication and a move from a jail in Missouri, where he was arrested, to Wilber, all of which were delivered.

"I think a lot of that is just him trading stories for what ended up being a substantial amount of money," he said.

Murray said an FBI agent gave Trail and his co-defendant, Bailey Boswell, each over $1,000 to be put on their books at the jail.

"So it was their money that was returned to them?" Saline County District Judge Vicki Johnson jumped in to clarify.

Murray said the money had been in the hotel room when they were arrested.

Then he circled back, arguing that none of Trail's statements should be admissible because at all points he had an attorney who wasn't there.
