As per reports from CNN, the teenage girl has also been accused of sharing child pornography videos of other victims with Schilmiller.

Not only murder but Schilmiller had also directed Brehmer to sexually assault an "8- or 9-year-old" and a 15-year-old and send videos to him, as per CNN Brehmer confessed to the investigators that she did as she was told to and video of the 15-year-old was recovered by investigators. Denali Brehmer has been imputed in federal court on charges of conspiracy, production and distribution of child pornography, and will face first-degree murder and other counts in state court, CNN reports suggest. Brehmer committed the crime by luring Cynthia Hoffman, 19, on a hike and shooting her in the back of the head.  "For all of the good the internet can do, it can be a dark place and parents would be wise to monitor the activity of their children online," The US Attorney for the District of Alaska, Bryan Schroder, warned all the parents after the case, as per reports.
