Rebecca Auborn entered her plea in court accompanied by her attorney, Mark Hunt.

Auborn 33, of Columbus, is accused of killing the men and nearly killing a fifth man after meeting them for sex in Columbus between December 2022 and June 2023. Authorities did not identify the men.

She will continue to be held without bond.
