I’m a classmate of theirs, they seemed like normal kids from the outside. I can’t believe they’d do something like this to a wonderful person like her. She was always incredibly nice.Miller claimed that Nohema Graber had been killed by a gang of masked teenagers, who subsequently forced him to help them dispose of the body. He said that he only played a role in supplying the wheelbarrow and driving the Spanish teacher's vehicle out of the park.However, authorities stated that an anonymous witness claimed that Goodale had boasted about perpetrating the murder in a Snapchat conversation, where he also implicated Miller as a direct participant.In court documents filed by Jefferson County Attorney Chauncey Moulding and Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown, the lawyers outline the motive behind the alleged murder.The statement read:“The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder of Graber which directly connects Miller.&quot;Phyllis@pharris02@EmpireCityMag This is 1st time I've seen this story.
