Tim Gurrister Standard-Examiner

Last updated Wednesday, December 21, 2011 - 11:24pm

OGDEN — The word “negotiation” was heard Wednesday for the first time in Dea Millerberg’s possible involvement in the death of Alexis Rasmussen.

The 16-year-old was baby-sitting at the North Ogden home of Eric and Dea Millerberg when she disappeared Sept. 10. Both Millerbergs were arrested on unrelated charges as the search for Rasmussen turned into a murder investigation, keyed on items seized from the Millerberg home as well as the impoundment of their two vehicles.

Rasmussen’s body was located Oct. 18 in a remote Morgan County location.
