They were bragging to their classmates on social media and they were quickly turned in on Wednedsay is how I took it.
Fairfield Teacher Murdered

Just because the students didn't explicitly say they were going to kill her because she was Latina doesn't mean race isn't a factor here. Being perceived as an outsider always makes you more of a target.
Fairfield is such a weird community. It’s got a strange mix of maharishi, left-leaning environmentalists, latino, and rural hillbillies.
Such a said case.
Such a said case.
If they were bragging to classmates that they killed her that is even more messed up. Another reason why first degree charge is the right choice in this situation.
When I lived in Ottumwa, I always enjoyed visiting Fairfield. A couple of nice cider breweries and some of the best sushi I've had in Iowa at Shokai.
I don't know if bragging was the right choice of words, but the article I read made it sound like one or more of their classmates turned them in based off some social media posts.
They have a pretty decent restaurant scene.
You actually lived in ottumwa? And you lived to tell about it. Impressive.
old buddy of mine took a job there as the sports editor of their newspaper years ago. He is still suffering from ptsd.
I can't even comprehend this. With what is written, it seems like they made the decision to commit murder not caring that they were 100% going to get caught. Who does that, and how do two people go through with that together?
You’re ******* pathetic.
I got placed there for work. Once my rotation was up, got out pretty quickly. No real desire to ever go back (except to grab Warehouse BBQ- that place is amazing)
Sad indeed. Fairfield seems like a nice enough town to me. But I had to laugh when I drove through the town not that long ago and I saw a motel that advertised "Color TV".
I actually got followed by a car when I was out for a run in college while in Ames, it was really scary. I was running close to campus, and a car followed me from by the stadium into the neighborhood and the guys inside the car started trying to ask me questions. One of my friends later suggested that they were just lost, but my response was if they were lost, why follow a lone jogger into a residential neighborhood rather than picking ANY of the many businesses or university buildings in the area. I chose a random house and ran up to the front door and started knocking, and thankfully the car drove away quickly. Didn't go running alone after that for a very long time.
Very punchable faces.

Two 16-year-old students are charged in the death of a high school Spanish teacher in southeast Iowa.
Yup. Move to the big cities... zero chance of murder there.
