HERKIMER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York woman is accused of running over a bound man who she said promised her $180,000 if she ended his life, but police said they have no evidence he wanted to die.
Francis Nelson, 74, was found dead, his hands and feet still tied, near his abandoned car on a rural road in upstate Herkimer County on Tuesday morning. On Thursday, Jennifer Riesel, who met Nelson through a social club in their hometown of Little Falls, was charged with his murder.
