BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Prosecutors say a Boise woman has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in connection with the 2016 killing of a man found dead in his vehicle in the Boise foothills.
According to the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office, 45-year-old Francis M. March entered the plea Tuesday. She is scheduled for sentencing in March.
Prosecutors say March drugged 61-year-old Mark Irwin and then suffocated him with a plastic bag. Authorities say March then wrapped Irwin’s body in a plastic tarp and drove the body to the Boise foothills in Irwin’s vehicle and left it there.

March and 20-year-old Anthony Barclay of Boise were arrested amid suspicion they stole items from Irwin. Barclay has since pleaded guilty to three felonies related to the case.
