Crawford County woman pleads guilty in connection w/March homicide

News

April 11th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

A woman from Crawford County has agreed to plead guilty to a single felony count of Second-degree Burglary, in connection with a double homicide last month near Deloit, Iowa. The Omaha World-Herald says in her plea agreement, 36-year old Erika M. Dains, of Denison, also plead guilty Thursday in Crawford County District Court, to being an accessory after the fact. Dains had originally been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson in connection with the March 10th murders of Marvin Huelsing and Alice Huisenga on Huelsing’s property southeast of Deloit. Her two co-defendants, 19-year old Jayden Ray Chapman and 26-year old Michael David Schenk, both of Denison, have pleaded not guilty to murder and arson charges.

According to court records, Chapman told law enforcement officials that he, Schenk and Dains had gone to the farmstead to steal scrap metal. According to a complaint and affidavit filed earlier in Crawford County District Court, Chapman said he and Schenk shot Huelsing and Huisenga and then set fire to a trailer with the victims inside. As part of the plea agreement, Dains agreed to testify for the prosecution at her co-defendants’ trials.

The original charges against Dains were dropped without prejudice, which means the prosecution can refile the charges if Dains violates the terms of the plea agreement. All three have been held in the Crawford County Jail in Denison on $500,000 cash-­only bail since their arrest March 13th. Thursday’s plea agreement stipulated that Dains’ bail continue as previously set.

In pleading guilty, Dains agreed to prison terms of 10 years on the burglary charge and two years on the accessory charge. A determination will be made at sentencing whether Dains must serve the terms one after the other, for a total of 12 years, or at the same time, for a total of 10 years. Sentencing for Dains will not occur until after the cases against Schenk and Chapman are concluded.

It is hard to play with a competitive mindset when the outcome of the match is known before it starts due to a insufficient number of players for Creston. We talked about that before we started but you still don’t know how the girls will respond.   Brooke Fletcher had another outstanding night shooting a 2 over 35; Brooke Newell, Bailey Walter and McKenna DenBeste continue to bring there scores down. Erin Olsen is hitting some solid tee shots.

Score card to settle. Kyle Nelson also had a great round with even. Tough to do on an away course. I though Jake played well even though he had a little high score. He had some troubles with distances. Sam also had a good round. A little high but played better than last time here. Cooper and Zac played pretty well. Had a few water issues. Otherwise would have been much better. Proud of my boys for only losing by 5 strokes on an away course. I know we are going to battle all year with Creston.
