A man accused of hiring a hit man to kill two people he worked with in North Dakota's oil patch has been ordered to appear in Washington state on federal charges.
An indictment unsealed Wednesday charges James Henrikson with 11 counts, including two counts of murder for hire in the deaths of Doug Carlile, of Spokane, Washington, and Kristopher "K.C." Clarke.
Henrikson and Clarke were living in Watford City. Clarke has been missing since February 2012. Henrikson showed no emotion in court Wednesday in Bismarck. His lawyer had no comment. A U.S. magistrate approved a request by the prosecutor that Henrikson be transported by both the U.S. Marshals Service and Homeland Security.
If convicted, Henrikson could face the death penalty. He's been jailed in North Dakota on illegal weapons charges.
