Overview
- Common Pleas Judge Karen Simmons ruled after nearly five hours of testimony to hold all charges for court, moving the case toward trial.
- Detectives testified that a 1999 gold Toyota Camry registered to King tracked with an Apple device linked to Scott from her workplace toward the Awbury Arboretum area.
- Surveillance showed two people removing an object from a hatchback near the route to the burial site, followed by footage of that car being set on fire behind nearby homes on 74th Avenue.
- Investigators said phone records documented texts and calls between Scott and King, including a final incoming call to her phone from King at 10:12 p.m. on Oct. 4.
- The defense argued the evidence is circumstantial, and King’s attorney says he will plead not guilty at a Feb. 23 arraignment.
