MIAMISBURG, Ohio – Police could go for the death penalty for the suspects in the murder of Lisa Spinks.
Documents indicate that 21-year-old Jamie Shaffer and 26-year-old Josh Sellers joked about killing Spinks. That was before police found her body along railroad tracks.
Shaffer and Sellers were scheduled for arraignment Wednesday.
The Montgomery County Coroner says that Spinks was stabbed numerous times in the neck.
During a police interview, Shaffer blamed Sellers for the murder. He says he watched his friend beat Spinks in the head with a rock at least six times before dragging her body onto the tracks.
"This is a tragic event that occurred. She was, from everything we know, just a sweet young girl. We know that it's not a stranger abduction. We know they were acquaintances, and we have them off the street.", says Police Captain Ronald Hess.
Officers have recovered a murder weapon.
