Overview

• Lee County District Attorney Jessica Ventiere said prosecutors will pursue the death penalty against Harold Rashad Dabney III in the Sept. 6 slaying of Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle.
• Dabney, 28, is charged with two counts of capital murder — during a kidnapping and during a theft — and is being held without bond.
• The Lee County coroner reported multiple sharp-force injuries, and charging documents and local reports say the attack occurred on a park trail before the victim’s vehicle was taken.
• Police say Schnuelle’s red Ford F-150 was stolen after the killing and was later recovered off Wire Road; her dog was found unharmed.
• Auburn Police are leading an active probe with assistance from state and federal agencies, including the FBI, while forensic examinations proceed.
