in the news
A 28-year-old Conception Junction woman was killed in a one-car accident that occurred Sunday evening in Holt County eight miles north of Mound City.
However, the victim, Franki J. Schubert, 28, was not pronounced dead by Holt County Coroner Susan Lentz until 9:52 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the wreck occurred around 6:20 p.m. Nov. 5 near the intersection of Holt County routes DD and C.
News reports stated Schubert had been reported missing by her family. First responders were said to have arrived at the scene of the accident after authorities were contacted by a citizen who discovered debris near a soybean field Tuesday morning.
The patrol report stated that Schubert was southbound on Route DD in a 2012 Nissan Altima when she apparently failed to stop for a stop sign, crossed Route CC and traveled off the blacktop’s south shoulder, at which time the sedan went airborne.
Continuing through the field, the car reportedly struck an embankment and left the ground for a second time before rolling over and coming to rest on its wheels in a creek bed.
Schubert was not wearing a seat belt, according to the patrol report.
After the victim was declared dead, the body was transported by Frontier Forensics Midwest of Kansas City, Kansas, to a company-operated facility.
Next of kin were notified by the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office.
Assisting Trooper K.L. Ebersold in working the accident were patrol Sgt. M.P. Quilty, patrol Cpl. S.M. Hux, and troopers T.L. Shupe, N.A. Regan and A.J. Foss. Others responding included the Holt County Sheriff’s Office, Holt County fire and rescue personnel and the Atchison-Holt Ambulance District.
