New Carlisle Murder Case Drags On

(St. Joseph County, IN) - Residents of New Carlisle and the family of 6-year-old Grace Ross will have to wait another two months for the wheels of justice to take another slow turn.

 

Ross was found molested and murdered behind her New Carlisle apartment complex in March. A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the crime. He claimed to authorities that a shadowy man made him do it.

 

Attorneys and doctors have been trying to determine if the boy is fit to stand trial and whether to try him as an adult.

 

A competency hearing scheduled for Thursday has been pushed back for the third time. However, interviewers will continue compiling notes and hope to present their findings in November.
