Woman accused of lying to cops in NH student death

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Bail has been set at $35,000 for a woman charged with lying to police as they investigated the disappearance and death of a University of New Hampshire student.

Authorities say 19-year-old Kathryn McDonough of Portsmouth is the girlfriend of Seth Mazzaglia (mah-ZAY-lia), who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Elizabeth Marriott of Westborough, Mass.

Court papers say McDonough gave false statements to authorities about her activities on Oct. 9 and Oct. 12. Marriott was last seen Oct. 9.

She was arraigned at the district court in Derry via a video link from the Rockingham County House of Correction.
