GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Four suspects allegedly involved with setting a dead woman’s body on fire to cover her death by drug overdose pleaded not guilty Wednesday.
Stephanie Greenspon’s body was found Aug. 19 in an abandoned, burned vehicle on the Menominee Reservation.
A joint trial on Aug. 16 was set for Timothy Snider, Keith Wilber, Emerson Reed, and Kayla Childs.
“The investigation revealed an attempt by Timothy Snider, Jr. to conceal evidence of the death of a woman resulting from his distribution of a controlled substance,” the criminal complaint states. “The investigation further reveals that Snider arranged for Emerson Reed, Keith Wilber, Jr., and Kayla Childs to take steps to conceal his actions.”
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.
The charges specifically include:
- Snider is charged with distribution of a controlled substance, obstruction of justice, and use of communications to aid a narcotics offense.
- Wilber Jr. is charged with arson in connection with a federal felony, and misprision of a felony.
- Childs is charged with misprision of a felony.
- Reed is charged with arson in connection with a federal felony, and misprision of a felony.
‘Misprision of a felony’ is a crime that occurs when someone knows a felony has been committed but fails to inform the authorities about it.
