WEEPING WATER, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man faces an assisted suicide charge after he helped his girlfriend kill herself in the woods, authorities said.

Cass County sheriff’s deputies charged Matthew J. Stubbendieck, 41, of Weeping Water last week in the death of 38-year-old Alicia Wilemon-Sullivan of Orange City, Florida.

Authorities said Stubbendieck reported that Wilemon-Sullivan had killed herself and led them to her body Aug. 5 in a wooded area near Weeping Water, about 25 miles southwest of Omaha. They said the couple arranged for Wilemon-Sullivan to fly to Nebraska from her home near Orlando to kill herself on Aug. 1.
