A woman has become the third person arrested in connection with the slaying of a man found in his car in Southern Highlands.

Simone Taylor, 19, has been booked on kidnapping, murder, conspiracy, burglary and robbery charges, police said.

Taylor, Kenneth Thomas and David Jones were responsible for killing 62-year-old man Heinz Jurgen Wietfeldt and dumping him in the back of his Cadillac Escalade near the 4500 block of Prada Place, police said.

Thomas and Jones, who were arrested in connection with the death on April 17, face an upcoming preliminary hearing on similar charges.
