William Hoehn, 33, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the August 2017 death of 22-year-old Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, who lived with her family in his apartment building. LaFontaine-Greywind was eight months pregnant when she was killed in the apartment that Hoehn shared with Brooke Crews, 39, according to prosecutors.
Serving a life sentence after pleading guilty in December tomurdering LaFontaine-Greywind, Crews admitted to a grisly sequence of events in the younger woman’s death.
On Sept. 4, Hoehnpleaded guilty to two lesser charges in the case: kidnapping and providing false information to authorities in their investigation of LaFontaine-Greywind’s death, court records show.
Hoehn’s attorney, Daniel Borgen, reportedly told jurors last week that his client only helped Crews cover up the murder but did not commit any homicidal violence himself.
