La. man accused of helping in KKK killing pleads
COVINGTON, La. (AP) - A Louisiana man accused of helping his father hide the body of a Ku Klux Klan recruit from Oklahoma has pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
A prosecutor's spokesman says 21-year-old Shane Foster was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison. Spokesman Rick Wood says prosecutors believed Foster helped his father conceal 43-year-old Cynthia Lynch (shown). Her body was found after the Tulsa, Okla., woman was shot to death in 2008.
Prosecutors think Wood also helped clean up the camp site in rural St. Tammany Parish in southeastern Louisiana.
Foster's father, Raymond Foster, has a trial April 5 on a second-degree murder charge.
Authorities say Lynch was recruited over the Internet and shot because she wanted to leave an initiation.
