The man considered a person of interest in the death of Sydney Loofe said Wednesday night that he was responsible for the 24-year-old Lincoln woman’s death. “I will say I am accountable for it,” said Aubrey Trail. “The reason for it will all come out (later).”
Trail and his girlfriend, Bailey Boswell, posted video messages on social media saying that they were not involved. Then, in phone call to a World-Herald reporter on Jan. 3, after being jailed on a federal theft charge, Trail said he had information about Loofe’s death but that “doesn’t necessarily mean you’re guilty.”
“I’ve told law enforcement a long time ago … I am accountable for Sydney Loofe’s death, I am responsible,” Trail said. “The girl had nothing to do with it.”
The phone call came as Trail prepared to appear in U.S. District Court in Lincoln on Thursday via a video hookup to enter a plea to multiple charges that he and Boswell had defrauded a Kansas couple out of $400,000 in a scheme to buy gold coins.
Trail refused to say what happened to Loofe, where it happened, or in what condition her body was found. he abruptly ended the short phone call, saying he was running out of money on a prison credit card to pay for it.
