(KNZA)--The two persons of interest in the disappearance and death of a Lincoln, Nebraska woman now face federal charges related to stolen property, and the case has a local tie.

The Omaha-World Herald reports 51-year-old Aubrey Trail and 23-year-old Bailey Boswell have each been charged with transporting stolen items across state lines.

According to court documents, the charge alleges that the pair carried stolen merchandise valued at more than $5,000 from Hiawatha, Kansas, to Beatrice, Nebraska on Oct. 20.

The maximum punishment is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Boswell made his first appearance in federal court in Lincoln on Thursday and Trail appeared Friday.

Both were ordered detained until further order from the court and remain in the Saline County Jail in Wilber.

Trail and Boswell have been identified by the FBI as persons in interest in the disappearance and murder 24-year-old Sidney Loofe, but have not been charged in the case.

A body believed to be that of Loofe was found Monday in rural Clay County, in southeast Nebraska.

Loofe was reported missing on Nov. 16 after she failed to report for work.
