Bringing him into her garage and refusing to release him makes it a case of kidnapping. They can seek the death penalty. Byrd's death in Texas was ruled a kidnapping and they didn't even take him home.

The criminals in the Matthew Shepard case left the man alive but injured restrained to a fence.

Additionally, she conspired with others to dump the body and destroy evidience of the car.

That's what I thought....then federal charges could be pressed against her, too, no? Isn't kidnapping a federal crime, not just a state crime? Or is it only federal if brought across state boundaries?
