On Monday, Lori Ann Taylor Keller pleaded guilty to murdering her ex-husband and his new family in Hardy County, W. Va. Her husband, Nakia Keller, admitted that he played a part in the murder.
The Fulks Run couple is charged with crossing state lines to kill Taylor Keller's ex-husband, 36-year-old Dennis "Chip" Taylor, in October 2009 at his home in Hardy County, W.Va.
They also face charges stemming from the deaths of Taylor's wife and her 5-year-old daughter.
In December, prosecutors said Taylor deserved the death penalty. Her trial was set for February. If she was convicted in the trial, that would have made Taylor the third woman since the 1950s to be put to death by federal prosecutors.
