A Florida man has pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping an Idaho woman in 2003.
Prosecutors say 27-year-old Douglas James Steinemer participated in the attack with his father, a long-haul trucker who has already been sentenced to life in prison. Steinemer will be sentenced Oct. 4.
Police say he approached the woman outside a Mountain Home store and used a knife to force her into a semitrailer truck where he and his father raped her several times as the men drove west. She was dropped off on the side of Interstate 84 near the Oregon border.
The Idaho Statesman reports Steinemer became a suspect last year after he was arrested in Florida and a DNA sample matched the Idaho case. Steinemer named his father, Hans Holsopple, as an accomplice. |
