RENO — Detectives say a Nevada woman accused of fatally stabbing her husband with a carving knife 12 years ago has said that she and another man tried to encase his body in concrete when they buried him in a shallow grave.

Pam Erwin, 57, of Elko was arrested Jan. 5 on murder and conspiracy charges. She made an initial appearance in Humboldt County Justice Court in Winnemucca last week in the death of James Erwin.

Her alleged accomplice, James Alan Melendez, 52, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona was arrested Jan. 11.

"...expects her to plead guilty to second-degree murder at her arraignment Feb. 2 — a move that would eliminate the possibility of the death penalty and potentially make her eligible for parole within 10 years."

Cool. Why not five years? Or just let her free now. Geez. /sarc.

Didn’t they learn anything from the Sopranos? Just wrap the body in chains and throw at your nearest river and ocean.

You have to be industrial strength stupid to botch a body disposal in Nevada. Just saying.

Just wrap the body in chains and throw at your nearest river and ocean.

That might be a bit tough in Nevada.

Looks like detectives were able to crack the case.

She has a de-paved mind.
