UPDATE: Court records filed Thursday show police received a tip that one of the students charged with murder had posted detailed plans about killing his teacher on social media, according to The Ottumwa Courier and Associated Press.
Jeremy Goodale reportedly posted details about planning the killing and a possible motive, although the court documents did not outline what that motive was.
The filings also say that Mrs. Graber’s body was found under a tarp, wheel barrow and railroad ties in Chautauqua Park Wednesday afternoon.
