Woman pleads guilty to interference in mutilation case

A woman who authorities say lied to police while they were investigating the disappearances of two southern Wyoming men has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors.

The Gillette News record reports 24-year-old Kylee Collins on Monday pleaded guilty to two counts of interference with a peace officer.

Collins told the court that she failed to provide investigators with information that her boyfriend had hidden the bodies of 38-year-old Jody Fortuna and 33-year-old Phillip Brewer in September 2016.

Her former boyfriend 37-year-old Michael Montano in January pleaded no contest to two counts of second-degree murder and guilty to two counts of mutilation of dead bodies.

Authorities say the dismembered bodies of the two men were found in Montano’s pickup truck.

Collins is scheduled to be sentenced in late April.
