Prosecutors allege Carrie Jones encouraged her husband to confront Twiford, who she said had been making sexually charged comments to her for years, and then helped him hide when he was being sought by police.
Testimony at an earlier hearing revealed that the Joneses did not have a specific conflict with Ebeling and her fiancé, Brian Welch, but thought the couple was odd.
Carrie Jones is scheduled to be arraigned May 22 in Cedar County District Court, the Norfolk Daily News reported.
Carrie and James Jones remain jailed. They are scheduled to appear in court on July 24.
