DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) _ Trial has been canceled and a
change-of-plea hearing scheduled for a North Dakota man accused of
killing the mother of a child he believed was his daughter.
Dirk Huber, of Belfield, had pleaded not guilty to murdering
Nicole Radebaugh in her apartment bedroom in August 2011. He was
scheduled for trial beginning Oct. 15. Court documents show that he
will appear in court to change his plea instead.
Authorities allege that Huber used a pillow to suffocate
Radebaugh after an argument about the paternity of her daughter.
Huber evaded police for several days after her death before being
arrested in a wilderness area north of Medora.
