Boise woman pleads guilty to Geddes murder

Jordan Marie Shaver, 22, pleaded guilty last month to a reduced charge of second-degree murder in the October 2012 execution-style shooting death of Brian Geddes, 49, according to court documents.

Shaver accepted a plea bargain that lowered the first-degree murder charge in exchange for dropping four other charges, robbery, grand theft, use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony and failure to notify authorities about a death.

Ada County prosecutors also agreed not to seek a life sentence. Instead, they will recommend that she serve a minimum of 20 years in prison - double the minimum sentence - when she appears before 4th District Judge Timothy Hansen on March 21 for sentencing.

Hansen ordered that Shaver undergo a psychological evaluation before sentencing. Shaver had previously been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, Tourette syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to a court document Shaver filled out as part of her Dec. 23 guilty plea.

The dismissed charges involved allegations that Shaver took possession of Geddes’ home, car, cell phone and other items, and stole more than $1,000 in cash.

Police found the body of Geddes wrapped in a comforter and stuffed under his mobile home on Nov. 2, 2012. Investigators believe he was killed Oct. 16.
