ALLIANCE, Neb. (AP) – A hearing for a Hemingford woman suspected of helping to hide the body of a Denver man in Dawes County has been delayed.
20-year-old Rose Siefke will wait until Oct. 17 to challenge the case against her.
Following a preliminary hearing on July 17, Box Butte County Court Judge Russ Harford ruled that the prosecution had presented enough evidence to have Seifke bound over to district court to stand trail.
However, Seifke’s attorney, Larry Miller, has filed a plea in abatement with the district court, requesting district court judge Travis O’Gorman review the county court hearing transcripts and determine whether or not the case should be dismissed, or be bound over.
The District Court is still waiting for specific transcriptions from the county county preliminary hearing before the case can proceed.
Prosecutors say Siefke helped her boyfriend, Andy Gonzalez, hide the body of Joshua Bullock.
Gonzalez was killed on June 12 after a daylong standoff with police in downtown Alliance where he wounded three officers.
Investigators believe she helped Andy Gonzalez hide Bullock’s death. Bullock’s pickup was found near Chadron in December. Bullock’s remains were found in June.
Seifke remains free on bond.
