RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted a man and a woman from Pine Ridge in the death of a woman on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Twenty-three-year-old Elizabeth LeBeau is charged with first-degree murder, and 29-year-old Fred Quiver is charged with being an accessory. U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says Quiver also goes by the name Fred Brings Plenty.

The relationship between LeBeau and Quiver isn't clear. It's also not immediately clear how they knew 24-year-old Emily Blue Bird.

Blue Bird's body was found last Thursday in a creek near Pine Ridge. The mother of two had been missing for nearly three weeks. Authorities say she was strangled.

LeBeau and Quiver are in custody in Pine Ridge. The Associated Press requested comment from the federal public defender's office.
