  • Jessica Kisby pleaded separately to the charges.

A South Jersey woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder and other charges in connection with a 2010 abduction and carjacking in an Atlantic City casino garage.

Jessica Kisby, 26, of Egg Harbor Township, entered guilty pleas on seven counts, including murder, carjacking, auto theft, and weapons offenses. Under a plea agreement, Kisby is to serve 30 years in prison on the murder charge, followed by five years' parole. Kisby also agreed to testify at the trial of her codefendant and boyfriend, Craig Arno, 46, of Atlantic City.

In May 2010, Martin Caballero, 47, of North Bergen, was abducted from the Trump Taj Mahal parking garage after dropping off his wife and family at the hotel, where they were to celebrate his daughter's 22d birthday. His body was found days later in a rural area of Hamilton Township, Atlantic County. He had been beaten and repeatedly stabbed. His car had been set on fire in Blackwood in what authorities said was an attempt to destroy evidence.

Arno's trial is scheduled to begin March 1.    - Inquirer staff
