LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two people are charged in the death of a 23-year-old woman whose remains were found near a lake in Lincoln in June.
Police Chief Teresa Ewins said Friday that 25-year-old Joesef Barraza is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and three counts of first-degree sexual assault in Carly Schaaf’s death. And 25-year-old Rachel Pageler, 25, is charged with kidnapping and accessory to first-degree murder.
Schaaf's remains were found near Pawnee Lake in June. Court records say she had complained to police that Barraza was harassing her shortly before she disappeared.
Investigators also found cellphone video that appears to show Barraza sexually assaulting three incapacitated women, including Schaaf.
