GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP)- The Montana woman accused of stealing a
missing South Carolina woman's identity to get into an Ivy League
school is expected in court Tuesday in Greenville.

Court records show Esther Reed is scheduled to have a pretrial
hearing in federal court.

Reed was indicted last year on charges that she used Brooke
Henson's identity to obtain false identification documents, take a
high school equivalency test and get into Columbia University.

Investigators have said they do not think Reed had anything to do with the disappearance of Henson, who was last seen in 1999.

Prosecutors have said Reed used Henson's name to get student loans when she began attending Columbia University.
