FULL TITLE: Five people are charged with murdering a mentally disabled woman, 19, after they 'invited her on a hike, duct taped her feet together, shot her in the head and threw her in a river'
Five people have been arrested in the killing of a mentally disabled 19-year-old woman who they say was duct taped, shot in the back of the head and tossed into a river after being invited on a hike by a friend.
Denali Brehmer, 18, is accused of murdering her best friend Cynthia Hoffman, 19, on June 2, with help from Caleb Leyland, 19, 16-year-old Kayden McIntosh, and two unnamed teens.
'I know I did something wrong and I know I could have probably done something different if I was able to and I don't want my daughter knowing that her mom grew up a killer because I don't see myself as one,' said Brehmer at the arraignment on Saturday, according to KTUU.
Police say that she and the other four suspects schemed together to murder Hoffman and then cover their tracks.
The group invited Hoffman to join them on a hike through the popular Thunderbird Falls trail, in the Chugiak area, northeast of Anchorage.
t was there the 19-year-old, who only had the mental age of a seventh grader, was shot dead, according to police.
Investigators found Hoffman's body two days later. Her feet were still bound by duct tape.
The suspects initially tried to throw off suspicion by using Hoffman's cellphone to text her family so it appeared she was still alive and had gone to another location, investigators said. Then they drove to Lions Park in northeast Anchorage and burned Hoffman's belongings.

Inbreeding is the answer
Idle hands are the devils workshop.
How is it that the developmentally disabled victim looks more intelligent than her accused killers?
“I know I did something wrong and I know I could have probably done something different if I was able to and I don’t want my daughter knowing that her mom grew up a killer because I don’t see myself as one”
Oh, she doesn’t identify as a murderer. That makes it all better.
Let the punishment EXACTLY match the crime.
People who do not believe in God cannot fathom evil This is evil.
A consequence of running Christianity out of the public square
“... and I don’t want my daughter knowing that her mom grew up a killer because I don’t see myself as one...”
Well, you murdered someone, so you are a killer.
It’s too bad they don’t use rope and a tall tree anymore.
This counts as disabled?
There is a widespread worldview that “Reality is whatever I choose it to be”.
I can think of nothing more poisonous.
“I don’t want my daughter knowing that her mom grew up a killer because I don’t see myself as one”
She must be released. These days you are whatever you “identify” as, so she’s not a killer and anyone who says otherwise is a hateful bigot.
The obvious question is simply....
WHY???
How defective do you have to be as a human being that you need to kill another one just to do it?
Let alone a group of you scheming collectively to do it?
Ferals
Speechless. I am simply speechless.
Yep, I was stunned about that statement also.
This idiot doesn’t identify as a murderer. She doesn’t want her daughter to think she is a killer. So she won’t identify as a murderer, thus she is not guilty.
Love that reasoning.
sarcasm.
Don’t know, don’t care.....just execute them now.
One second longer on this earth is too long for them.
Stupid girl, you are a murderer, now and forever..............
Firing squad volunteer here and I can round up a bunch more.
It only counts as disabled because she isn’t in Congress
