WILBER, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man doesn’t want to attend this week’s hearing that will determine whether he should be sentenced to death for killing a Lincoln woman who arranged a Tinder date with him.
Aubrey Trail said in a motion filed Friday that he wants to skip the hearing at the end of this week that will determine his sentence.
Trail, 54, was convicted in 2019 of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the November 2017 death and dismemberment of 24-year-old Lincoln store clerk Sydney Loofe, who disappeared after arranging a date with him.
Loofe’s body parts were found in 14 pieces in ditches along a state highway, weeks after her disappearance.
