A Pennsylvania man accused of kidnapping and killing Linda Stolzfoos, the 18-year-old Amish woman who disappeared walking home from church last year, will plead guilty Friday, but it’s not clear what charges are involved in the deal.
Justo Smoker, 35, has been charged with homicide, kidnapping, and false imprisonment and is on the Lancaster County Court calendar to enter a guilty plea Friday morning. The court docket does not specify charges, and his attorney, Christopher Tallarico, also declined to provide details, according to Lancaster Online.
District Attorney Heather Adams had no comment on Wednesday but has scheduled a news conference after Friday’s hearing.

Linda Stoltzfoos, an 18-year-old Amish girl from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, who was recently found dead after she went missing while walking home from church last summer, was strangled and stabbed in the neck, a coroner ruled on Friday.
Lancaster County coroner, Dr. Stephen Diamantoni, said Stoltzfoos was positively identified through dental records and confirmed that her cause of death was asphyxia from strangulation, along with suffocation. A stab wound was a contributing factor in her death, The Associated Press reported.
The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office announced that the remains of Stoltzfoos, who disappeared on June 21, 2020, after being kidnapped on Beechdale Road in Bird-in-Hand, East Lampeter Township, was found last Wednesday.
