WILLISTON (AP) — Extradition hearings are planned Tuesday in a North Dakota courtroom for two men held in the disappearance of eastern Montana teacher Sherry Arnold.

Forty-seven-year-old Lester Vann Waters Jr. and 22-year-old Michael Keith Spell are scheduled to appear at 3:30 p.m. before Judge Josh Rustad in Williams County District Court in Williston.

The suspects — both from Parachute, Colo. — face charges of aggravated kidnapping.

Authorities are releasing few details on what might have happened to Arnold, who disappeared Jan. 7 after she left her house in the oil-boom town of Sidney for a pre-dawn run. She is presumed dead.

Authorities have suggested Arnold's body might be buried on vacant farmland or in a shelter belt, a line of trees that protects farmland from the region's strong winds.
