WILBER — The premeditated murder case against Bailey Boswell was bound over for arraignment during a brief hearing Tuesday that marked the 24-year-old’s first in-person court appearance since she was charged in Sydney Loofe’s death.
Boswell took Loofe on a date to her apartment in Wilber on Nov. 15, and the next day, Loofe was reported missing.
Her remains were found in rural Clay County on Dec. 4.
Boswell, like her co-defendant and boyfriend Aubrey Trail, faces one count of first-degree murder and one count of unlawful disposal of human remains.
Investigators allege the pair bought tools and supplies used in the killing before Boswell’s date with Loofe.
When Boswell appears for arraignment in Saline County District Court next month, she will likely enter a plea of not guilty, as is common at arraignments.

She will also learn whether the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office intends to seek the death penalty in her case as it is in the prosecution of the 51-year-old Trail.
Boswell's court-appointed attorney, Todd Lancaster of the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy, declined comment on the case Tuesday.
Boswell remains in the Saline County jail without bond.
