A woman pleaded guilty last week to her involvement in the kidnapping of a man in New Mexico, who was then kept locked in a trunk and fatally stabbed when he tried to escape, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. Kendra Panteah, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping not resulting in death on Friday in federal court in Albuquerque, according to court records. Panteah did not kill or stab the victim, who was only identified as John Doe, in the July 2019 incident, but she was there, the U.S.
Panteah said the other two people got out as she drove to Gallup with the man still locked in the trunk, according to the plea agreement. It was then that she asked John for help and went to his apartment, according to the court document. They both drove the man's car, with him still locked in the trunk, into the Navajo Nation and drank alcohol and used methamphetamine during the drive, she said.
