FAIRFIELD, Iowa — The trial for a 16-year-old teen accused of killing his high school Spanish teacher will be held in Council Bluffs in western Iowa, a state court judge said Monday.

Judge Shawn Showers ordered the trial for Willard Miller of Fairfield to be moved about 200 miles (322 kilometers) from Fairfield in southeast Iowa to Council Bluffs. The order said Miller, his attorneys and the prosecutors agreed to move the trial away from Fairfield, where the case had received extensively publicity. The trial is set to begin Nov. 1

Miller and classmate Jeremy Goodale, 17, will be tried as adults, facing first-degree murder charges in the beating death of 66-year-old Nohema Graber, who taught at Fairfield High School.

Graber's body was found Nov. 3 hidden under a tarp, a wheelbarrow and railroad ties at a Fairfield park. Police said she had been beaten to death with a baseball bat.

The location of Goodale's trial, set for Aug. 23, has not been set.

Documents Reveal the Brutal Way Two Iowa Teens Allegedly Murdered Their Spanish Teacher and Discussed Details of Her Death on Snapchat
Colin Kalmbacher | Mar 24th, 2022, 6:52 pm

Iowa teenagers Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale, both 16, allegedly bludgeoned their high school Spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat and then discussed details of her murder on social media, newly public court documents allege.

The 16-year-old defendants both stand accused of one count each of murder in the first degree and conspiracy to commit a forcible felony over the November 2021 death of 66-year-old Nohema Graber.

Documents containing several new details related to the gruesome murder, search warrants for the two defendants, had previously been sealed but were made available by the judge overseeing the case on Tuesday, March 22, 2022. Copies of those filings were obtained by the Des Moines Register and Associated Press.

The court documents allege that a witness who knew Goodale showed law enforcement the defendant’s Snapchat messages that showed Goodale and Miller “were involved in the planning, execution, and disposal of evidence” related to their teacher’s death. According to the search warrant, the Snapchat messages reflect how the duo surveilled Graber, elaborate on how exactly she was killed, where her body was dumped, and how the evidence was concealed.

Graber was discovered dead in Chautauqua Park, in Fairfield, Iowa on Nov. 3, 2021–just hours after she was reported missing–having disappeared during her usual walk through the park the day before. According to police, the deceased woman was found “concealed under a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties.” In an interview with Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agents, Miller allegedly admitted that he provided the wheelbarrow from his own home. A witness allegedly told police they saw a wheelbarrow being pushed down a city street just before midnight on Nov. 2, 2021.

Community leaders fear killing of Mexico-born Spanish teacher 'by two pupils' was a hate crime and classmates reveal kids made fun of her accent: Two 16-year-olds are charged with her murder - but police say they don't know motive

[Deuxcents]

1. No mercy, if guilty. None.

[rsdsharp]

7. If convicted of first degree murder, the mandatory sentence

in Iowa is life without the possibility of parole.

[onecaliberal]

2. The motive is HATE of non white skin. Is it rocket science?

[Turbineguy]

3. Way to ruin your lives, geniuses!

[mnmoderatedem]

16. geniuses indeed

"and Discussed Details of Her Death on Snapchat"

criminally sociopathic as well as criminally stupid.

[SergeStorms]

26. They learned to hate like this....

from someone, or some group of people. My guess would be parents, relatives, or friends.

Of course I could extrapolate and name a certain group of people with toxic xenophobia, but I don't think I'll go there just yet.

I'd like some more information first. This is horrid. Hate at this level from sixteen year old boys. 😒

[arthritisR_US]

35. Way to ruin their lives, what about her's and her

loved ones?😡

[Turbineguy]

36. Indeed.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Brutal Thugs

I'm guessing the evidence is solid & these two killers are toast.
Good! Let them suffer. They sure made their victim suffer.
One could extrapolate that she was killed over an accent.
A person who would kill over that is of no use to society.
Lock them away.

[Bettie]

19. Council Bluffs is Steve King territory

so I wouldn't put any money on that.

White males killing a brown woman. That's why they want to move it there.

[SouthBayDem]

27. Council Bluffs is politically mixed

Its mayor Matt Walsh is a Republican. Its state senator Dan Dawson is R. But its state house member Charlie McConkey is a Democrat.

[xocetaceans]

28. Not really.

It's just less likely that the case is known there. Western Iowa typically does not pay a whole lot of attention to Eastern Iowa news.

The Omaha/Council Bluffs area is its own metro area.
Even Des Moines's news is too far east to be known in that region.
Southeastern Iowa's news is rarely heard in Southwest/West Central Iowa.

So, the idea of moving a trial to an area in which a fair trial can be conducted is in line with the legal system. It has nothing to do with the racism that you seemingly flippantly allege.

Anyway, if you truly believe what you wrote about Western Iowa, I'd be really interested in what has shaped your opinion.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Unspeakable

If that's not a hate crime I don't know what is.

[dem4decades]

6. I place this crime at Trump's feet.

[malaise]

8. Yep thank the Slobfather for this one

Fucking teenage monsters.

[Rebl2]

24. Yep

[VMA131Marine]

9. I would not be above naming and shaming the killers' parents

in this case. What were they not teaching their children?

[Warpy]

33. They might be just as stunned and sickened

Adolescent male culture had plenty of time to work its magic on these two punks. Mom and Dad and church every Sunday for the first 14 years of their lives can't compete with that, not until they grow up. These two will do that in prison.

This is just sad, she looked like such a nice lady, beautiful smile, probably didn't take much nonsense from teenaged bullies.

If I were looking for somewhere to place blame besides these two lowlifes, I'd look at their buddies, the ones who didn't turn them in before they murdered her. Anonymous tips are harder now that pay phones have been ripped out, but it can still be done via mail.

I think a lot of parents in that town are going to want to know a great deal about what their kids have been doing on their phones and computers.

[lpbk2713]

10. Two little sociopaths.

It's good they will be tried as adults. May they get a lengthy sentence.

[Scrivener7]

11. Is this one of those republican communities where all the residents say, "This kind of thing

just doesn't happen here!" when this kind of thing happens there?

[roody]

34. Fairfield is home to the Maharishi University.

...

[Initech]

12. WTF is wrong with people?

Hope these assholes get what is coming to them!

[DET]

13. That Poor Woman

This may be a hate crime, but I would bet that those kids enjoyed beating that woman to death. A gun is quick; a baseball bat is slow and agonizing. They may be young, but these guys are psychopaths. They need to be locked up forever.

[JanMichael]

14. Murderous cretins.

[Calculating]

15. Murderous freaks

Life without parole for both seems fair.

[uponit7771]

17. omg

[Mr. Evil]

18. These two devotees of the TFG Syndrome

won't get the benefit of just going to sleep with the death penalty. These monumentally stupid and selfish monsters are going to suffer and suffer more for decades. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

[Demovictory9]

20. yes, I remember this story. They killed her because they could.

[LoisB]

21. Sick little fuckwads. They both look like potential serial killers.

[Pobeka]

22. Wouldn't a jury of your peers be most likely found in the town that you live?

Of course some of your peers are going to know the deceased, and even know something about you personally.

Isn't that the basis of a peer?

[FakeNoose]

23. It shouldn't be hard to prove their guilt - it sounds premeditated

Not only that, they were stupid enough to post it all on Snapchat!

Lock them up, throw away the key.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. This is as brutal as it gets, not to mention they boasted about this heinous crime

Seriously irredeemable killers, I agree, throw away the key.

[electric_blue68]

29. That poor teacher, and her family, and friends

Heinious Murderous Scum!


"Enjoy" your 50 yrs plus "staycation" in prison!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. New career aspirations: Personal servants to a not-white drug lord convict...

in a prison they'll soon be calling home........

And, no ice cream or McDonald's.......like forever.

Horrible waste of a great teacher plus two young men and untold suffering in many related families.

-----------------------------

[kairos12]

31. The French had the answer.

Break out the National Razor for these 2 MAGA cretins.

[KentuckyWoman]

32. 3 more families living in hell because intolerance and hate is "in".

We are losing our humanity and rigging a political system to make sure in the future, people like these kids get medals instead of jail. I won't live long enough to see it if it really gets that far. I sure hope it doesn't.
