Overview
- The Marion County Medical Examiner ruled Exelby’s death a homicide, citing four stab wounds to the torso with damage to the aorta, esophagus, stomach, spleen, pancreas, and left kidney.
- Toxicology results logged cannabinoids and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.064, a level medical guidance associates with reduced alertness and judgment.
- Investigators say computer evidence indicated Exelby expressed suicidal intent and planned to travel to the U.S. to be sexually abused, tortured, and possibly killed.
- Police arrested Hall after he allegedly attempted to use Exelby’s credit cards, and license plate readers placed his vehicle at Gainesville airport around her arrival.
- Hall’s defense filed a written not-guilty plea and says he will remain silent, with a court appearance expected in February as pretrial proceedings continue.
