Hauser man enters Alford plea in woman's suspicious death

HAUSER, Idaho (AP) - A Hauser man is facing 30 years in prison after entering an Alford plea in connection to a Spokane woman’s suspicious death.

The Coeur d’Alene Press reports (https://bit.ly/1LvdGbT) that 47-year-old Patrick McGhee has entered an Alford plea for voluntary manslaughter and destruction of evidence, which acknowledges the state has enough evidence to convict him without admitting guilt, in the death of 55-year-old Kelly Sallee in June.

Sallee’s body was found June 11 off the west side of a road in Washington state partially submerged in the slough.

McGhee is scheduled to be sentenced in Kootenai County District Court on May 4.
