LEXINGTON, Neb. – Nearly three years after her disappearance, two people have now been found guilty in the death of Sydney Loofe. After Aubrey Trail was convicted in 2019, Bailey Boswell was also convicted by a jury on Wednesday in the Dawson County Courthouse.

The jury found Boswell, 26, guilty on all three charges – first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and improper disposal of human remains.

The state is seeking the death penalty. If sentenced to death, she would become the first woman in Nebraska history to face the death penalty. Boswell will have the option of leaving that decision up to a jury or a three-judge panel. Trail was given the same option, deferring to a three-judge panel. Trail's sentencing hearings will begin on Dec. 15.

The jury deliberations for Boswell lasted roughly three hours, about the same time it took for Trail’s jury to find a verdict in 2019.

While families were not allowed into the courtroom due to COVID-19 restrictions, Loofe’s family waited outside for the verdict.

Loofe, 24, vanished after going on a date Nov. 15, 2017, with Boswell, whom she had met on the Tinder dating app.

Loofe was reported missing the next day after she didn't show up for work; and her disappearance sparked a massive search for her, a manhunt for Boswell and Trail and ultimately to the discovery of Loofe's remains in plastic bags scattered along gravel roads in central Nebraska’s Clay County.

The trial, which was originally slated for March, was delayed and moved from Saline County to Dawson County after Boswell’s attorney, Todd Lancaster, requested a venue change, citing extensive media coverage of Loofe’s murder and the trial and conviction of Boswell’s co-defendant and boyfriend Aubrey Trail.

Boswell’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss every charge, arguing that the state had not provided enough evidence to prove them. Saline County judge Vicky Johnson overruled the motions.

Trail has maintained that he was responsible for Loofe’s death, insisting Boswell was not involved.

“Bailey was in a different room,” Trail said previously. “She had nothing to do with Sydney’s death. She was not there when it occurred.”
