The documents reveal a possible motive in the case for the first time since the teenagers — Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale — were arrested in November 2021. The boys, who were 16 at the time, face murder charges for the death of their 66-year-old teacher Nohema Graber. The van was left at the end of a rural road and a witness later picked up the two boys as they walked to town on the same road, investigators said.Graber's body was found at the park the next day underneath a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties. She had been beaten to death with a baseball bat, according to investigators, and one of the teenagers bragged about the incident on social media.
Miller initially denied involvement in his teacher's death but later said he had knowledge of the events but did not participate and that a"roving group of masked kids" were the real killers, who forced him to give them his wheelbarrow to help move her body. He also claimed the alleged masked kids had him drive her van from the park, according to court documents.
