On Feb. 20, Sweazy’s boyfriend, Alias Reed, is accused of shooting two men at a bowling alley in Bloomfield.

Authorities in the city, a small town of about 1,000 people near the South Dakota border, found Curtis Strom and William Reffett dead at the scene.

The Nebraska State Patrol said Reed and Sweazy dumped the shotgun used in the slayings in a ditch west of town.

Investigators said they also found cash stolen from the bowling alley.
