The third of 7 defendants charged in the torture and murder of Sam Nordquist has admitted her guilt to every count in the case.
Jennifer Quijano pleaded guilty Wednesday in Ontario County Court to first-degree murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, aggravated sexual abuse, concealment of a human corpse, and child endangerment charges.
Prosecutors say she participated in Nordquist’s kidnapping, torture, sexual abuse, and murder between January and February of 2025, then helped conceal his body.
Four co-defendants still face pending charges. Quijano is scheduled to be sentenced on September 8th, when Nordquist’s family is expected to address the court.
