A felony change of plea hearing is scheduled for December 11, 2017 in Cass County Court.

Crews and Hoehn were neighbors of Greywind’s and the expectant mother was allegedly last seen going into Crews’ apartment.

Greywind’s newborn baby was found in Crews’ apartment days after Greywind disappeared.

Greywind’s body was later found in the Red River.

Bail is set for each suspect at $2 million cash.

They are facing life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Hoehn’s next date is set for December 6th.
