Berthoud 18-Year-Old Formally Charged With Murder
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - An 18-year-old Berthoud man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend and driving to Colorado's Western Slope with her body was formally charged with murder Thursday morning.
Tanner Flores appeared in Larimer County Court for a hearing and was advised of the charges against him, which include first degree murder, a felony, and second degree kidnapping.
Flores is suspected of killing Ashley Doolittle, also of Berthoud, some time after the two broke up. Flores allegedly confessed to killing her because he was angry about the breakup.
Deputies in Mesa County arrested Flores near the town of Collbran on June 10. That's where Doolittle's body was found.
Flores remains in jail without bond. His next scheduled appearance in court will be July 21.
