A Michigan woman pleaded guilty on Thursday to planting bones and other false evidence at several crime scenes.

Sandra Anderson admitted to planting evidence at sites in Michigan and Ohio so that her dog, Eagle, could find them. She faces up to two years in prison under a plea agreement.

In October 2001, Anderson brought Eagle to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to look for Native remains that may have been thrown away by the school after using them for research.
