HOUSTON, Mo — One of four people accused of murdering a transgender teenager in Texas County has pleaded guilty.

18-year-old Isis Schauer entered the plea on Tuesday, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison on 2nd degree murder charges, as well as 4 years on charges of abandonment of a corpse. Those sentences are slated to run concurrently.


Calderas and two others, 18-year-old Andrew Vrba and 24-year-old Brianna Calderas, are accused of killing 17-year-old Ally Steinfeld at Calderas’ mobile home near Cabool earlier this year. Steinfeld was reported missing by her family in early September.

Remains that were later identified as Steinfeld’s were discovered by Texas County authorities in a burn pile at Calderas’ mobile home near Cabool.

Vrba’s next court appearance is February 5 in Crawford County after the venue was changed earlier this year. Calderas has also filed for a change of venue, with a court date of February 14.

Another suspect, James Grigsby, has pleaded not guilty to abandonment of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
