A 55-year-old Lincoln woman went to jail Sunday for allegedly helping convicted killer Aubrey Trail in a murder-for-hire scheme to extort money from a prison nurse who had smuggled contraband into the prison for him, including a cell phone. Trantham said that in an interview in 2021, Al-Rekabi denied she was communicating with prison staff members for Trail. Trantham detailed recordings of three calls believed to have been between Trail and Al-Rekabi in early 2021. In order for her to stop the murder, Trail told her she needed to give him $25,000, which she said she did through Al-Rekabi. lnmate Aubrey Trail, with the assistance of Samantha Al-Rekabi, manipulated (the nurse) into the belief that these things would happen if she did not provide the funds that Inmate Trail requested," Trantham said.
