 A Beltrami County jury has found a Bemidji man guilty of aiding an offender in the death of Bemidji's Rose Downwind. 32-year-old Brandon Rossbach was accused of helping Marcello Simerusti burn and bury the body of Rose Downwind. Simerusti had previously confessed to murdering Downwind and said Rossbach helped him move Downwind's body to a location north of Bemidji where they burned and buried it. So there were things that were brought out, pictures that were shown. It just kind of opened some wounds that we've tried to heal. But now, thankfully, we got, he's guilty, which we knew all along. Rossbach was found to not have participated in burning or burying Downwind's body, but the jury did find that he inflicted emotional distress on the family when he sent text messages from Downwind's phone to her mother making it appear Downwind was still alive. It just means, thankfully, that now all three people that were involved in the murdering of my sister are now being held accountable. Rossbach's sentencing hearing will be held on December 20th.
