A Faribault woman accused of making bomb threats against 16 southern Minnesota post offices and a newspaper is expected to change her plea in federal court Wednesday.
Christina Anne Reineke had earlier pleaded not guilty to three counts of mailing threatening communications to the post offices and to the Faribault Daily News in February and March. A change of plea hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. in Minneapolis.
Prosecutors say she sent handwritten letters saying the bombs would kill postal employees and customers. The threatened post offices are in Faribault, Mankato, North Mankato, Lake Crystal, Madelia, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye, Le Center, St. James, Northfield, Dundas, Warsaw, Kenyon, Medford, Morristown and Owatonna.
