MACHIAS, Maine (AP) - A Maine jail inmate charged with a string of crimes, including rape, is facing conspiracy to commit murder and other charges.
This week, authorities say they received new information that 33-year-old Robert Boggia wanted to kill a witness involved in his case. He was charged Tuesday at jail.
Boggia has been jailed since Feb. 16 following a manhunt in Washington and Hancock counties. He was originally charged with gross sexual assault, robbery and burglary.
