2nd person charged in southwest Nebraska man’s slaying

Samantha Bell

TRENTON, Neb. (AP) — Another person has been charged in the fatal beating of a southwestern Nebraska man.

Hitchcock County Court records say 33-year-old Samantha Bell, also known as Samantha Strohm, is charged with first-degree murder and with conspiracy to commit robbery. She remained in custody Thursday at the Hitchcock County Jail in Trenton.

The records say she and 42-year-old Darin Mason are suspected of fatally beating 49-year-old Todd Miller on Aug. 16, 2017, during a drug robbery at his home in Culbertson. Mason was arrested last month.

The records don’t list the names of attorneys who could comment for them.
