Nancy Hershman was found dead in her West Ellis Street home in late December 2012.
Three suspects from Colerain Township, Ohio, were arrested and charged in January 2013 for their connection with Hershman’s murder.
The trial for 23-year-old Allison Moore will be held in Ripley County Circuit Court next week. Jury selection will begin Monday as Moore is facing murder charges.
Co-defendant Sean Nichols, 15, pleaded guilty in adult court to Burglary Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury in January, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The plea deal required Nichols to testify during the trial of Moore and the trial of another juvenile, 17-year-old Daniel Hodge. According to the sheriff’s office, Nichols returned to the Ripley County Jail on Monday, March 24.
Hodge will be on trial in July.
