Randy Redtail Wescogame, 19, said he encountered the woman while she was hiking alone and offered to guide her to falls in the area. But he took her off the main trail, put a knife to her neck, demanded her valuables and then stabbed her several times before hiding her body, according to an account of the attack read by the judge in court.
