As Bay Area News Group reports, Lengyel appeared in court Thursday to enter a not-guilty plea. The case is being tried in Santa Cruz County because, apparently, that is where investigators believe Herrmann's murder took place. None of the circumstances have yet been made public.

A longtime friend, Betsy Marvit, told the Santa Cruz Sentinel that Herrmann was something of a prodigy from Hawaii who attended Pomona College at age 16. She went on to get a Bachelor of Sciences degree from Cal Tech, a doctorate in neuroscience, and had a black belt in taekwondo and was multilingual. At 61, she was reportedly very active with the paddle club, and worked as a software engineer.

"[Alyx] was a musician, pescatarian, soft-spoken lover of life, and an adventurous athlete even at 61, with a strong connection to the sea, to her daughter, and to the many friends who loved her very much," Marvit told the paper.
