@vls12345 - any hearing dates before the trial on 9/30/24? TIA!
Just looked. I don't see anything different from either the Augusta-Richmond County website or the GA Supreme Court website.
So, the previous posts contain the most recent updates/info:
Found Deceased - GA - LaTania 'Janell' Carwell - Abducted & Murdered - Mom & Stepdad Charged - Augusta #2
Only update is "Supreme Court notice of docketing" for Leon Tripp on 5/14/2024, which supports the article that Niner posted last month.

Thank youEverything looks the same/no additional updates or notes.
Could someone catch me up on how the case was solved, please? I don't see that information anywhere, and I'm not local to the area. TIA
trying to remember the initial reports and days for this case. If I am remembering correctly the stepfather and Latania (Janelle) were both reported missing having "disappeared" in the early morning hours the day after Janelle's 16th birthday.Could someone catch me up on how the case was solved, please?

Thank you for sharing this information. How pathetic are these 2 'parents'? My 16th birthday was one of the best days of my life, and she was likely so excited. I can't imagine the horror she felt when she realized that her own mother and stepdad were going to kill her. Is this a DP case? If not, it should be. IMOOtrying to remember the initial reports and days for this case. If I am remembering correctly the stepfather and Latania (Janelle) were both reported missing having "disappeared" in the early morning hours the day after Janelle's 16th birthday.
Stepdad, Leon, (according to Janelle's mother, Tanya) had to help a friend repair a car and allegedly took Janelle with him to do so at 1:30am. She reported them both missing after about a week or two and went on FB begging for money and help claiming to also be suffering from cancer.
Leon eventually did turn up in Atlanta about a month later, but when police located him there low and behold he was accompanied by Tanya, his wife who had claimed he was missing and she had no idea where he might be. Cell phone records later showed she had been in contact with her husband the entire time.
Janelle's body was eventually located in a shallow grave not far from her own home. Turns out her mother and stepfather had conspired to kill her, even going so far as to try to hire hitmen to do it for them on several occasions dating back to when Janelle was just 14. I don't know that we ever were given a hard and fast motive as to why she was murdered. Some have speculated that Leon was SAing Janelle and her mom wanted her out of the picture for that reason.

@vls12345 - I have trial scheduled for tomorrow, 9/30 - true?? I sure HOPE so!! TIA!
Oh shoot - well - at least the court site says there IS a trial. So I will move it to Wednesday than.Both Leon Tripp & Tanya Tripp are showing as having a jury trial 30 Sept. 2024.
BUT
I also saw this article that says due to the storm aftermath, all jury trials have been postponed for at least a week & jurors who have been called are told not to report. All court proceedings have been postponed for Monday & Tuesday.
(The jury website instructs potential jurors to call in after 5pm on Monday for possible jury reporting info for Tuesday, Oct. 1.)Jury Services | Augusta, GA - Official Website
www.augustaga.gov
(Fyi, for those not in the know, Augusta is in east Georgia, which was on the "dirty" side of Hurricane Helene as it came through Georgia.)
So.... still postponed?? @vls12345 ? TIA!
