Ogden • A trial was scheduled to begin April 3, 2014 for a North Ogden woman accused of helping her husband dispose of the body of their 16-year-old baby.
Dee Millerberg, 40, is charged in 2nd District Court with third-degree felony desecration of a human body in connection with the September 2011 death of Alexis Rasmussen.
Her two-day trial, originally scheduled for August, was moved to hear her husband's case.
