A person of interest in the 2017 disappearance and death of Sydney Loofe is expected to change his not guilty plea in his fraud case.
Court records show Aubrey Trail will appear in federal court in Lincoln on Thursday in a change plea hearing, a court appearance Trail's attorney requested on March 22nd. Trail faces fourteen federal charges of Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property. He is accused of scamming a couple out of more than $400,000. Trail and his associate, and second person of interest in the Loofe case, Bailey Boswell were both charged in the case and initially pleaded not guilty to the charges.
It is not clear if Trail will change his plea on every charge, but each of the fourteen charges carry a possibility of ten years in prison.
Court records show no new information regarding Boswell. Trail also faces a charge of Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Prohibited Person in Saline County.
A request was made, and granted, earlier this week for a special prosecutor to be assigned to Trail's case.
The Attorney General’s Office releasing this statement:

As a result, our appointment as Special Prosecutor in the Saline County case was a natural extension of our on-going partnership with the other agencies involved in this investigation”
