Police received a tip that one of the boys posted details about planning the killing of 66-year-old Nohema Graber and a possible motive on social media
Two 16-year-old students were charged with homicide in the death of a high school teacher whose body was found concealed at a park in southeast Iowa, authorities said Thursday.
Investigators said Nohema Graber, a 66-year-old Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School, was reported missing on Tuesday and her remains were found later that day at the Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, located about 95 miles southeast of Des Moines, The Ottumwa Courier reported. The city has a population of about 9,400 people.
The two teens, both students at the school, have been charged as adults with first-degree homicide and conspiracy to commit first-degree homicide, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department said.
NBC News does not usually name minors charged with a crime, even those charged as adults.
Court documents filed Thursday from their initial appearance in court indicate the two did not yet have attorneys. Both appeared via video conference. Magistrate Stephan Small ordered a state public defender to represent one of the teens. Documents said the other teen did not request a court-appointed attorney and it wasn’t immediately clear who would represent him.
According to court filings made public Thursday afternoon, Graber suffered “inflicted trauma to the head.” Her body was found concealed under a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties at the park, where she frequently walked in the afternoons.
Police received a tip that one of the teens posted details about planning the killing and a possible motive on social media, according to court documents. The court filings did not detail the possible motive.
A search warrant at the suspects' homes uncovered clothing items that appeared to have blood on them, police said.
Graber taught Spanish classes at Fairfield High School since 2012. She previously taught in the Ottumwa Community School District.
Fairfield students were dismissed from classes Thursday and all classes on Friday were canceled, the district said.

Didn’t even bother to wash the clothes. This is what happens when you drugs
Too bad the SC says we can’t fry ferals like these.
In the 1800’s they would have been hung immediately..................
Leopold and Loeb wannabes.
Well, that’s a surprise. What vermin.
“Hmm. I wonder what the other prisoners meant by yelling, “Fresh meat! Fresh meat!” when they were walking me to my cell?”
What was the ‘possible motivation’, Bad grades? Rejected flirtations?
Of all of the things I thought the Internet would bring to us, having criminals providing evidence against themselves didn't really appear. Maybe if the cops had waited another 24 hours they'd have posted pictures as well.
At minimum, at least three families have been ‘destroyed’ by this senseless murder.
The local newspaper in Otumwa, IA provides the names of these two:
“They are Willard Noble Chaiden Miller, 16, and Jeremy Everett Goodale, 16. Both have been charged with first-degree homicide and conspiracy to commit first-degree homicide.”
Tight almond eyes tilted upward is a visible sign of demonic possession.
You mean I’m demon possessed?...................
Dead eyes.
The October TikTok challenge was “Slap a Teacher”. Maybe they were trying to make up for being a little late?
