Woman charged with helping quadruple slaying suspect

Posted:

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A Nicholas County woman faces charges of helping a man accused of killing four people.

State police tell media outlets that 48-year-old Wanda Einstein is charged with four counts of felony accessory after the fact. She is being held at the Central Regional Jail on $300,000 bond following her arrest last Friday.

According to a criminal complaint, Einstein allegedly knew 26-year-old James Roy Belknap of Leivasy was wanted in connection with the slayings when she drove him to his home from another residence on May 26.

Belknap faces four counts of first-degree murder in the May 19 shooting deaths of Stephen Leroy Hendrix, Amber Martin and Hendrix's two young children. Belknap was arrested May 28 at a police roadblock.

Fifty-four-year-old Mark Haynes of Leivasy also is charged with helping Belknap.
