GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – One of the suspects involved with setting a dead woman’s body on fire to cover up her death by drug overdose has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Stephanie Greenspon’s body was found Aug. 19, 2020, in an abandoned, burned vehicle on the Menominee Reservation. Four people were charged: Timothy Snider, Keith Wilber, Emerson Reed, and Kayla Childs.
In advance of a hearing Thursday, a plea agreement with Childs was filed in which she pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, and another count was dismissed. Prosecutors will recommend a 30-month prison term, while her attorney can argue for any sentence, court documents state.
Snider tried to conceal Greenspon’s death, and was assisted by the other three, according to prosecutors. Those steps allegedly included moving the vehicle with her remains, then moving it again, then setting it on fire.
Snider allegedly provided Greenspon with heroin about two weeks before her body was found; she overdosed and died. Reed told police Snider asked him to help get rid of the car and her body. Reed then contacted Wilber for help, the complaint says.
“Reed stated once they arrived at the final location, he and Wilber doused the interior and exterior of the Tiburon with a fluid and set it afire. Reed said he then left in the Jeep and Wilber and Childs left in Wilber’s truck,” it states.
Snider is also due back in court Thursday for a status conference.
Reed was convicted of arson used in the commission of a felony, and will be sentenced April 4.
Charges against Wilber were formally dropped in July, after Wilber died.
