Female Suspect in Woman’s Brutal Murder Pleads Not Guilty

After the two prime suspects were arraigned on murder charges in the death of Michelle Hudnall, the third suspect, 27-year-old Guadalupe Sanchez, plead not guilty to charges of rendering criminal assistance.

Michelle Hudnall, who disappeared May 11, was found on Carbody Beach by the Columbia River July 5th.

The two suspects in her murder, 39-year-old Florentino Jai Castillo and 27-year-old Benny Lozano Jr, both pleaded not guilty last week.

Sanchez is accused of helping the two transport Hudnall's body after she was murdered, and disposing it along the river. It is not known if she is also accused of helping cover up the murder by not reporting it to authorities.
