FARGO – Two suspects police arrested in connection with the disappearance of pregnant Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind will appear in Cass County District Court on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping after her body was found on Sunday, Aug. 27, in the Red River.

Suspects William Hoehn and Brooke Lynn Crews, who lived in the same Fargo apartment building as LaFontaine-Greywind, will be arraigned on the charges at 2 p.m. Monday, Aug. 28, Cass County State’s Attorney Birch Burdick said during a news conference to update the public on the case.

The couple will face three charges each: conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit kidnapping and providing false information to law enforcement, Burdick said.

The charge of conspiracy to commit murder, a Class AA felony, carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole, while conspiracy to commit kidnapping, a Class A felony is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, Burdick said. A false information charge is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison.

No one else is expected to face charges in the case at this time. "We have no indication that there are any other suspects involved in this crime," said Lt. Jason Nelson of the Fargo Police Department.

Although the case may stretch across two states, North Dakota and Minnesota, authorities said it is too early to tell if the case would head to federal court. Burdick said at this time, it will be handled in Cass County District Court, but that he will communicate with other agencies as more information becomes available.

“We just need to await facts,” Burdick said. “If further information comes to us that leads us to believe that other jurisdictions would be appropriate than I will sit down with those jurisdictions.”

LaFontaine-Greywind’s body was found about 8:20 p.m. in the river near the 90th Avenue Northwest bridge. About the same time, investigators from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office were called to a nearby abandoned farmstead after a search party reported finding suspicious items that could indicate criminal activity.

“The team that was searching, when they went to the house, they found some things that were very, very suspicious,” Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist said. “That’s what brought us there.”

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is handling the search and investigation of the farmstead, Fargo Police Chief David Todd said.

On the property is an abandoned house with barns, and it has not had an official address for years. The owner has been cooperative with investigators, Bergquist said.

LaFontaine-Greywind's body, which was found bound in plastic and duct tape, was sent to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office in St. Paul for an autopsy.

On Monday, investigators could not say where LaFontaine-Greywind may have died or how. Preliminary information from the autopsy is expected later Monday or early Tuesday, Aug. 29.

Todd said, “Savanna was the victim of a cruel and vicious act of depravity.”

Lt. Nelson provided additional information about earlier searches of Hoehn and Crews' Fargo apartment. Officers searched that apartment twice for LaFontaine-Greywind on Saturday, Aug. 19, the day she went missing, and a detective searched the apartment on Sunday, Aug. 20. There was no indication of LaFontaine-Greywind or a child during those three searches, Nelson said.

During those searches, the suspects were cooperative and there were no signs of a crime scene, Nelson said.
