WEST FRANKFORT, Ill. (AP) - One of two suspects in a double killing last month in southern Illinois has agreed to be returned from Colorado to face prosecution.
Afton Ferris has waived extradition from Larimer County, Colo. That's where she was arrested with Michael Schallert in the West Frankfort deaths of 32-year-old Terri Seibeck and 28-year-old Kandis Majors.
Schallert hasn't yet waived extradition, and a status hearing is scheduled for Friday in Colorado.
Ferris and Schallert are charged in Franklin County with first-degree murder. Authorities say the victims were shot several times and were found the next day on the floor of their West Frankfort home.
It isn't immediately clear how soon Ferris may be returned to Illinois, where each suspect's bond is set at $2 million.
