THE COLDCLIFF TRIBUNE

Girlfriend in dead hiker case arrested, deemed a flight risk

Tabitha Cousins, 17, was arrested last night and taken into police custody at a juvenile detention center in Colorado Springs. Cousins will be held in custody until her trial, which has been tentatively scheduled for late November.

A Coldcliff resident who wishes to remain unidentified told the Tribune that Cousins had a packed bag at the time of her arrest and had been planning an escape for several days, maybe even weeks. “She knows they’ll find out what really happened, and she’ll spend her life behind bars,” the source said. “Being on the run would be a lot easier. And I don’t think she was planning on going alone.”

Anyone with additional information has been asked to contact the police department’s tip line.
