Murder trial re enactment shifts to Briggsdale Keota area
Briggsdale tenant farmer Aed Wier 38 and former Greeley police chief Seacil Roberts, 44, figure in a dramatic re enactment of a June 2 killing of Ray E Butler northwest of Santa. Roberts, who has signed a statement accusing Wier of killing Butler with a hatchet, is to perform a similar reenactment with a photographer present. Wier, who signed a 14 page statement claiming Roberts killed Butler with a chair, says a third mysterious foreigner joined the killing. Authorities plan to move Wier to the Briggsdale Keota region for the re enactment, mirroring Roberts actions.
