PHOENIX - A Phoenix woman arrested in connection with three homicide cases has pleaded not guilty to trafficking in stolen property and other charges.

Maricopa County prosecutors say 26-year-old Danielle Elaine Rossman entered her plea at her arraignment Wednesday. Her initial pretrial conference is scheduled for April 2.

Rossman was among six people arrested and indicted in the deaths last month of Bruce Gaudet and Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro.

Authorities say the Shapiros -- well-to-do philanthropists in their 70s -- were found tied up and burned beyond recognition in the Paradise Valley home on Jan. 30. Gaudet's body was found inside a burning Phoenix condominium on Jan. 26.

Prosecutors say Rossman faces one count each of possession of stolen property, trafficking in stolen property and hindering prosecution.
