Denali Brehmer, an 18-year-old charged with murder in the killing of a woman near Thunderbird Falls last weekend, told police she directed another teen to shoot the woman, according to charges filed against her.

Brehmer and Kayden McIntosh, 16, are both charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the death of Cynthia “CeeCee” Hoffman, 19. Brehmer told Anchorage police detectives Friday that she had directed McIntosh to take the 9mm handgun she was carrying and shoot Hoffman in the head.

Meanwhile, McIntosh, who was arrested earlier this week, was telling anyone who came into contact with him at the jail that shooting Hoffman was Brehmer’s idea and that she had been the one to fire the gun, a correctional sergeant told detectives.

When the two teens were initially questioned by police, they told detectives that the trio had decided to duct tape each other and take photos near the popular Thunderbird Falls trail, in the Chugiak area.

According to their accounts, Hoffman started panicking after she was bound. At that point, Brehmer originally told detectives, McIntosh took the gun from her hand and shot Hoffman in the head with it before pushing the 19-year-old’s body into the Eklutna River.

Police found Hoffman’s body in the river Tuesday, where Brehmer told them the killing happened, charges say. Hoffman’s feet were duct taped together.

Brehmer then claimed that McIntosh told her to text Hoffman’s sister and make up a story about dropping her off somewhere. She said she complied because she was scared, the charges against McIntosh say.

A Snapchat video turned over to police on Thursday by a person described in Brehmer’s charges as her friend appears to tell a different story.

In the first of the two videos, Brehmer talks about the investigation, telling the same story she’d originally told police.

In the second, according to the charges, McIntosh can be seen walking around in the background while Brehmer tells the camera, “I just want to thank everyone that’s been there for me my whole life and these past few years and everything. I f---ed up, I know I did, if I could take back what I’ve done, I can’t. I’m sorry everybody, my family, my friends. I guess you will hear from me when you hear from me, but I won’t be back for a long time. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t mean to do it.”

When officers questioned Brehmer later about the videos, she told them she and McIntosh had planned the trip to Thunderbird Falls, the charges say. The two teens had told Hoffman they were going there for a hike, she said.

“Brehmer told Det. Torres that after Cynthia was tied up, she handed Kayden the gun and told him to shoot her because she couldn’t do it, and he shot her," Brehmer’s charges say.
Anchorage police have arrested three additional teenagers in the death of 19-year-old Cynthia Hoffman, found shot to death and dumped in a river at Thunderbird Falls near Chugiak on June 2.

Police say they now believe five teenagers were involved in a planned, coordinated attack on Hoffman, whose family has described her as a trusting young adult whose learning disabilities put her at a younger developmental age than her 19 years.

“It was planned. The victim was targeted,” said M.J. Thim, spokesman for the Anchorage Police Department.

The three new arrests announced by police Sunday include Caleb Leyland, 19, who is accused of providing the vehicle used on the day of the killing. Leyland faces charges of first-degree murder and first-degree conspiracy to commit murder.

A juvenile male and juvenile female were also arrested, according to the APD. Their cases are being handled through the Division of Juvenile Justice because of their age, making the details, including their names, confidential.

Denali Brehmer, 18, and Kayden McIntosh, 16, were previously arrested and charged. Police say they drove Hoffman to Thunderbird Falls for a purported hike on June 2, then bound her with duct tape, shot her in the head and threw her in the Eklutna River.

An Indiana man implicated in the murder of an Alaska teenager had allegedly promised millions of dollars to the teens who killed her in exchange for images of the killing.

Court documents say that investigators believe Darin Schilmiller of Indiana, posed as a millionaire named "Tyler" online and offered 18-year-old Denali Brehmer $9 million or more to "rape and murder someone in Alaska," the newspaper reported.

Brehmer was supposed to send photos and videos of the killing back to Schilmiller, according to the court documents.

Brehmer is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Cynthia "CeeCee" Hoffman. Hoffman was killed June 2 near a rural Anchorage trail. Police found her bound with duct tape in the Eklutna River near Thunderbird Falls. She had been shot in the back of the head.

On Tuesday, federal prosecutors announced the arrest of Schilmiller on child pornography charges. He is charged with production of visual depiction of minors in sexually explicit conduct and attempted receipt of those depictions.

In a criminal complaint, FBI Agent Jessica Hais said Schilmiller directed the recording of sexually exploited girls by Brehmer, 18, of Anchorage.

Brehmer told police that she and Kayden McIntosh, 16, accompanied Hoffman to the popular trail and planned to take photos of each other tied up.

At some point, police said, McIntosh took a gun from Brehmer, shot Hoffman and pushed her into the river.

Brehmer and McIntosh then drove to a park, called Hoffman's family and said they were dropping her off at the park, police said. They went to another park and burned Hoffman's purse and other items and the gun used in the shooting, police said.

The Daily News reported Saturday that the teens told police each of them was supposed to receive a share of Schilmiller's promised reward for their role in the killing.

During a search of Brehmer's phone, police reported finding sexually explicit photos and text messages to Schilmiller discussing them.

Brehmer told police she shot video of a girl who was 8 or 9 and another who is 15 and sent them to Schilmiller. In interviews, she referred to him as "Tyler" from Kansas.

Chloe Martin, spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor's office in Anchorage, has said that Schilmiller will be extradited to Alaska.
 
He said he would pay $9 million for a murder. So five friends plotted to kill a teenager, police say.

Cynthia Hoffman thought that Denali Brehmer was her best friend. The two teenagers had met while attending the same high school in Anchorage, and on her Instagram account Cynthia posted photos of the two of them, striking goofy poses at a school dance. “My bff,” she captioned one picture, according to the Anchorage Daily News.

But after Cynthia disappeared, it became clear that the 19-year-old had been tragically wrong. On June 4, two days after her family reported her missing, police found Cynthia’s body on the bank of the Eklutna River, near a hiking trail on the outskirts of Anchorage. Her feet were duct-taped together, and she had been shot in the back of the head.

Authorities said Friday that Brehmer, 18, orchestrated the murder and recruited four friends to help her, thinking that a man who she met on the Internet would pay her $9 million or more for filming it. While officials haven’t said why Cynthia, who went by “CeeCee,” was targeted, her family told the Daily News that she had a developmental disability that caused her to operate intellectually at a seventh-grade level, and likely made her vulnerable.

“Her disability just made her want to have friends,” her father, Timothy Hoffman, said. “That’s all she wanted, was just to be her friend.”

Hoffman, a handyman who had taught his daughter to be his “right-hand man,” knew something was wrong when his daughter didn’t show up on June 2 to collect the money he owed her from a recent job, he told KTUU. It was unlike her to stop picking up her phone, and to not call and say where she was.

“In this family, you all have phones,” he said. “When dad calls, you answer. I don’t care if you’re at church and the holy pastor is preaching. I don’t care if you’re at school taking the high school diploma test. If dad calls, you answer.”

The next morning, when Cynthia still hadn’t showed up, Hoffman notified the police. But he was burning with nervous energy and not content to sit still while they looked for his daughter.

“I put out search parties,” he told the station. “I drove my motorcycle through woods and bike paths. I floored it all over town doing speed limits I should not have been doing looking for my kid.”

It was too late. On June 4, a knock on the door confirmed his worst fears: Cynthia was dead.

While he searched for his missing daughter, Hoffman had been trading text messages with Cynthia’s best friend, who he knew as “Angela.” The teenager had been with his daughter right before she vanished, and told him that she had dropped Cynthia off at a local park at her request. In messages that Hoffman provided to KTUU, Angela sounded distraught over Cynthia’s disappearance, writing, “I hope she comes home safely she’s my best friend.”

In fact, as Hoffman soon learned, Angela’s real name was Denali Brehmer. And she knew a lot more than she was letting on.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily News, Brehmer had formed an online relationship with a man who called himself “Tyler” and claimed to be from Kansas. He had convinced her that he was a millionaire, and offered to pay her $9 million or more to “rape and murder someone in Alaska,” then send him videos and photographs.

Brehmer agreed to the arrangement, court documents say. She allegedly recruited four of her friends to help her, offering them a cut of the money if they helped orchestrate and carry out the murder.

On June 2, Brehmer and 16-year-old Kayden McIntosh borrowed a friend’s car to pick up Cynthia and drove with her to the northern outskirts of Anchorage, claiming that they were going to go hiking, authorities allege. They brought the 19-year-old to the Thunderbird Falls trail, a popular hiking path that cuts through a mile of birch forest before reaching a spectacular 200-foot waterfall. But instead of heading for the falls, they abandoned the trail and followed another path that ran alongside the Eklutna River, walking until they found an isolated clearing.

The teenagers bound Cynthia’s hands, feet and mouth with duct tape, according to prosecutors. Once she was restrained, McIntosh allegedly took Brehmer’s 9mm handgun and shot her in the back of the head. They left her body in the river.

“I’m sorry everybody, my family, my friends,” Brehmer reportedly said in a video that she posted on Snapchat afterward. “I guess you will hear from me when you hear from me, but I won’t be back for a long time. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.”

It wasn’t until later that Brehmer learned that she had been catfished, prosecutors say. All along, she had been sending photos and videos to “Tyler,” not knowing that his real name was Darin Schilmiller — a 21-year-old who lived in Indiana instead of Kansas, looked nothing like the photo he had sent her online and wasn’t a millionaire. When first questioned by police on June 6, two days after Cynthia’s body was found, Brehmer allegedly claimed that the three teenagers — Cynthia, McIntosh and herself — had gone to Thunderbird Falls to take pictures of each other wrapped in duct tape. She said that she had no idea that McIntosh planned to shoot the 19-year-old.

Further investigation yielded a stomach-churning discovery. Police got a search warrant for Brehmer’s iPhone and found child pornography “in plain view,” court records obtained by Alaska Public Media said. In a text message conversation with Schilmiller, who was identified as “Babe” in her contact list, she had detailed her plans to sexually assault a teenage girl and film it for him.

“Gonna go buy weed first,” Brehmer wrote, according to court documents. “I wanna get her high for it so she doesn’t fight me.”

Later in the conversation, Schilmiller allegedly told Brehmer that he wished he had never “made a deal” with her in the first place. “[W]e can meet but once I see a cop I’m telling him or her that I made you rape people and killed cece,” he wrote, apparently referencing Cynthia’s nickname.

Once she learned that she had been duped, Brehmer admitted that Schilmiller had recruited her to commit a murder, prosecutors said. She also said that he had directed her to sexually assault two minors, one who was 8 or 9 years old, and another who was 15.

FBI agents were unable to find videos of the younger child, though they did find that she had sent Schilmiller child pornography that featured the 15-year-old victim, according to court documents. Investigators have also not found evidence that Cynthia Hoffman was raped, as Schilmiller allegedly requested.

Schilmiller, Brehmer and McIntosh were indicted Friday on murder and conspiracy charges, according to the Alaska Department of Law. So were 19-year-old Caleb Leyland, who allegedly lent Brehmer and McIntosh his car in exchange for a promised $500,000, and two juveniles, whose names have not been released.

Denali Brehmer began planning how to kill her "best friend" after a man she met online said he would pay her several million dollars for evidence of the killing, Alaska authorities say.

The 18-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, had developed an online relationship with Darin Schilmiller, 21, of Indiana, who posed as a millionaire named "Tyler," and offered her at least $9 million to kill Cynthia Hoffman and send him "videos and photographs of the murder," according to the Alaska Department of Law.

The two began discussing "a plan to rape and murder someone in Alaska," several weeks before Hoffman's murder, according to court documents.
Hoffman, 19, and Brehmer are described in the documents as "best friends."

Hoffman was bound with duct tape, shot in the back of the head, and pushed into a river near a hiking trail outside Anchorage on June 2, the department said in a statement.

Anchorage Police officers discovered her body along the Eklutna River bank on June 4.
Brehmer recruited Kayden McIntosh, 16, Caleb Leyland, 19, and two juveniles to help her carry out the killing, and in exchange, "all of them would receive a significant sum of money for their part in the planning and/or execution of the murder," according to the department's statement.
CNN has reached out to Brehmer's attorney, Emily Cooper, but a request for comment has not been answered.

Five Alaska teens have been charged with murdering one of their best friends — after being catfished by a stranger from Indiana who promised them $9 million to film the depraved crime, according to court records.

Darin Schilmiller, 21, posed as a millionaire named “Tyler” in online chats in which he offered 18-year-old Denali Brehmer the huge payday to “rape and murder someone in Alaska” and send him photos and video of it happening, according to the documents posted by the Anchorage Daily News.

Brehmer recruited four friends — including two juveniles too young to be identified — and set their target as Cynthia Hoffman, 19, whom Brehmer had called her “best friend,” the documents say.

An Alaska woman admitted to killing a “best friend” after being catfished by an online stranger who said he’d pay $9 million if he was sent photos and videos of the depraved crime.
Denali Brehmer, 22, pleaded guilty Wednesday to first-degree murder in the 2019 killing of Cynthia Hoffman, 19, the Alaska Department of Law said.

Brehmer was 18 when she and two other teens were “catfished” by a man online who pretended to be a millionaire and convinced them to sexually assault and kill Hoffman, Alaska Public Media reported.

Court documents say Darin Schilmiller, then 21, posed online as a millionaire named “Tyler” to the teens.
Brehmer’s sentencing has been set for Aug. 22. She faces anywhere from 30 to 99 years in prison.
Schilmiller was arrested and extradited to Alaska. Now 24, Schilmiller has been held in jail on first-degree murder charges stemming from the case.

Charges against Brehmer’s two alleged accomplices — Caleb Leyland, 23, and Kayden McIntosh, 19, are pending.
 
Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Peterson handed down a sentence of 99 years to serve to Darin Schilmiller, the maximum for Schilmiller’s role in the 2019 killing of 19-year-old Cynthia Hoffman.
The Indiana resident admitted to posing as a millionaire online and offering to pay Anchorage resident Denali Brehmer $9 million to carry out a murder plot against Hoffman, an intellectually challenged teen who considered Brehmer her best friend.

In August, Schilmiller pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of murder in the first degree, a charge with a sentencing range of 5 to 99 years.
During Thursday’s sentencing hearing an expert witness for Schilmiller described him as someone with a low IQ with intellectual functioning consistent with a child. Schilmiller’s attorney urged the judge to give his client a sentence of 50 years with a chance for rehabilitation.
The state painted a different picture of Schilmiller, someone who was able to manipulate Brehmer into murder and who also solicited child pornography and rape.
Schilmiller pleaded guilty to facing federal pornography charges but is still awaiting that sentencing. As part of the plea agreement, both his federal and state charges will run concurrently.
 
He was smart enough to know that money motivated those bastards that killed Cynthia, that's my name too, so it hit me a little bit harder than some other crimes have. He's smart enough to be sentence to the death penalty, so I'll settle for life without parole.

Seems like that's a popular name, Cynthia. I also like the Latin Freestyle artist by that name too.
 
Murder victim Cynthia “CeeCee” Hoffman, 19, believed that Denali Dakota Skye Brehmer, 23 was her best friend, but now, more than four years after she was bound in duct tape and shot to death near a waterfall, that so-called best friend received a virtual life sentence in an Alaska court for carrying out the heinous act.
While acknowledging the defendant’s relative youth, Judge Andrew Peterson on Monday maintained that Brehmer knew what she was doing and that this was not a “youthful indiscretion,” according to The Alaska Department of Law.
Seeing video of CeeCee duct taped on the ground at Thunderbird Falls on the banks of the Eklutna River in her final moments was “one of the most difficult pieces of evidence I’ve had to watch in this position,” he said.

Brehmer had pleaded guilty to one count of murder in the first degree. The judge sentenced her to the maximum term of 99 years, none suspended, and determined her to be a “worst offender.”
“The Court should find that Miss Brehmer engaged in one of the most serious crimes that we have in Alaska,” prosecutor Patrick McKay Jr. said. “She executed Cynthia Hoffman in a murder-for-hire plot. She conspired with numerous other individuals in and outside of Alaska, including juveniles, forever altering everybody’s life. She may not have pulled the trigger, but this never would have happened it if it weren’t for Denali Brehmer.”
Kayden McIntosh allegedly confessed to being the actual gunman. The case against him is set for trial. Caleb Leyland pleaded guilty to murder. Authorities said he lent McIntosh and Brehmer his car in exchange for $500,000. His sentence is set for June 10, 2024.
