The two students from Iowa, Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale, decided to get revenge on Spanish teacher Nohima Graeber by killing her last year
Two high school students in Iowa allegedly killed their teacher last year because they wanted revenge for a bad grade she gave one of them, prosecutors revealed Tuesday in court documents released to the public.
The two students from Iowa, Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale, decided to get revenge on Spanish teacher Nohima Graeber (pictured below) by killing her last year.
They are accused of murdering the 66-year-old in the small town of Fairfield on November 2, 2021.
Miller had met with the victim at Fairfield High School to discuss his poor grade in her class the afternoon of her murder, authorities revealed.
Witnesses spotted two males driving Graeber’s van out of the high school park less than an hour after the teacher arrived. The van was abandoned at the end of a rural road and a witness picked up the two teenagers as they walked down the same road, authorities said. A day later, the victim’s badly beaten body was found hidden under a tarp.
Investigators believe Miller and Goodale, who were both 16 at the time, beat her to death with a baseball bat.
Miller told police he was frustrated with the way Graeber was teaching Spanish, and was angry that the low grade she gave him was lowering his overall grade. He denied any involvement in the 66-year-old’s death, but later admitted he “knew everything, but was not involved” — claiming a “roving group of masked kids” killed Graeber and then forced him to hide the body, according to court documents.
For his part, Goodale reportedly bragged about the kill to a friend on Snapchat. A witness provided photos of a Snapchat conversation he had with the teenager, in which he essentially implicated himself and Miller in Graeber’s murder.
However, Miller’s lawyer, Christine Branstad, said the four search warrants issued were issued illegally, and is asking the court to quash all four and to exclude evidence from Snapchat, as well as from her client’s home, comments she made to police , but also information obtained from his cell phone. A local judge will make the final decision within the day.
