A Utah teenager accused of ordering the murder of another Utah woman has been extradited to Wyoming and charged as an adult in the incident.

Amanda Huggard, 17, was charged Monday with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and aiding and abetting first-degree murder in the death of Deborah Lee Lindsay, 18, of Kamas, Utah.Lindsay's body was found in late June in an area about 20 miles northwest of Evanston.

Prosecutors say Lindsay was strangled about one week earlier and her body was dumped in a ravine near the Woodruff Narrows Reservoir.

The two men charged in the death, Dutch Martin Wilkens and William David Ricks, are accused of returning to the ravine a few days after Lindsay's death and pouring battery acid on her body to conceal her identity.

Prosecutors maintain Lindsay told her father nine days before her death Huggard had offered to pay someone to kill her.
