Overview

• A Lee County judge ruled on Oct. 15 that probable cause exists and sent the case against Harold Rashad Dabney III to a grand jury on capital murder during kidnapping and during robbery/theft.
• Detective Taylor Clark testified that surveillance showed Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle arriving at Kiesel Park at 9:38 a.m., a man matching Dabney at 10:28 using her key fob, and her truck leaving at 10:29 before a license plate reader captured it on Wire Road.
• Police said they encountered Dabney the next morning scratched and disheveled, wearing shoes seen on video, and carrying the victim’s debit card concealed in his underwear.
• Investigators later found the victim’s red Ford F-150 abandoned off Wire Road with blood on the driver’s seat and steering wheel, and a fingerprint on the rear driver’s-side door matched Dabney’s thumb; the weapon has not been recovered.
• An autopsy reported seven sharp-force wounds with probable defensive injuries, and the state lab is still analyzing fingernail clippings and other blood-stained evidence.
