OGDEN, Utah (ABC 4 News) - Dea Millerberg waived her right to a preliminary hearing on Wednesday stemming from charges that say she desecrated the body of teen who was killed in September.
Prosecutors say Millerberg desecrated Alexis Rasmussen's body when she helped to move her body.
16-year-old Rasmussen went missing on September 11, and her body was found in a shallow Morgan County grave more than a month later.
Millerberg's husband Eric faces 1st Degree Felony Child Abuse Homicide, Obstruction of Justice, Unlawful Sexual activity with a Minor, and Abuse or Desecration of a Human Body in connection with Rasmussen's death.
Dea has since filed for divorce from Eric.
She's due back in court in April.
