Police Say Teacher Found Dead At Park Murdered By Students. She Told Newspaper ‘We All Know We Are Going To Die’ Days Before

An Iowa teacher allegedly murdered by two of her students said, “we all know we are going to die,” one day before her death while at a Day of the Dead celebration, according to a local report.

Fairfield authorities discovered the body of Nohema Graber on Nov. 3 in Chautauqua Park. Graber had been reported missing earlier that day.

Just one day before her alleged murder, Graber told a local newspaper “we all know we are going to die. It’s our way of laughing at death,” according to KCCI. Graber was at the local library to see a Day of the Dead display celebrating Mexican heritage when she made the comments to the newspaper.

The investigation into Graber’s death is ongoing, with authorities charging 16-year-old Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and 16-year-old Jeremy Everett Goodale with homicide in the first degree and conspiracy to commit homicide in the first degree. Both are being criminally charged as adults.
