Calls to Hoehn’s attorney were not immediately returned.
In his first interview since his 2017 arrest, in August, Hoehn toldThe Forum of Fargo-Moorhead,“I should’ve called police that night.”
Hoehn said he found Crews cleaning up blood in the bathroom.
Instead, he told the outlet that he took bloody shoes and towels from the apartment and threw them in a dumpster.
In the interview, Hoehn would not reveal whether he helped murder and dispose of LaFontaine-Greywind’s body.
While he toldThe Forumthat Crews “had anger issues,” he said he didn’t think she was “crazy to the point of doing something like this.”
He said he feels “anxious” about his upcoming trial.
“I’m terrified,” he told The Forum. “It looks scary from here.”
