Checked and looks like the hearing will only be on zoom; not open to the public
 
Reached out to a reporter and the press will be allowed to attend the preliminary hearing on Jan. 25.
Hoping I can access on zoom.
IIRC, the preliminary hearing is when the probable cause affadavit could be available. Of course it could be suppressed.

After a little research, I don't think the general public can view the hearing. There is no youtube channel like in the Daybell/Vallow hearings.

Thank you @ReadySet for checking it out. I'm going to "assume" he plead not guilty. Otherwise we would be at a sentencing phase....
 
Tuesday, January 25th:
*Preliminary Hearing (@ 8:30 am MT) - ID – Daralyn Renée Johnson (9) (missing Feb. 21, 1982, found Feb. 24, 1982, Nampa. Her body, which had been sexually assaulted & beaten, was found in a shallow drainage ditch along the Snake River in Melba by a group of fishermen. Johnson sustained blunt force trauma to the head & torso, but ultimately died from drowning) - *David Allen Dalrymple (24 @ time of crime/62/now 64) charged (5/4/20) & formally charged & arraigned (1/13/22) with felony murder & felony rape. Plead not guilty. No bond.
Case info: For almost four decades, Johnson’s alleged killer was unknown, though her neighbor was wrongly convicted & spent 18 years on death row before being exonerated. Charles Irvin Fain, a neighbor of the Johnsons, was convicted of her murder & given the death penalty in 1983. However, Fain, who always maintained his innocence, was exonerated & released from prison in 2001 — almost two decades later — after DNA testing found the hairs on the victim’s remains didn’t belong to him.
Currently, Dalrymple is serving a 20-year-to-life sentence at the Idaho State Correctional Institution in Kuna after he was convicted in 2004 on charges of kidnapping, lewd conduct & sexual abuse involving a minor between the age of 9 & 11 in separate, Ada County case. Court records show Dalrymple appealed the conviction numerous times, but it was denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2012. Those sentences were to be served concurrently. His earliest eligibility for parole after those convictions would be Dec. 11, 2023.
In 2018 remaining hairs on Johnson's body were sent to a lab at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Lab technicians were able to determine the hairs belonged to a man, and more specifically, through genetic genealogy. The lab in California used a single nucleotide polymorphismsan, or SNP profile, to identify Dalrymple in Daralyn’s case, not an STR profile (short tandem repeats).
5/4/20: Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue & Canyon County Prosecutor Bryan Taylor announced that they have charged Dalrymple for the young girl's murder. Law enforcement officials said the sheriff's office is holding off on serving the warrant until late summer for two reasons. One is because of the current COVID-19 health pandemic & he is already serving time at the Idaho State Correctional Institution for a crime that he committed in 2004. Probably nothing will happen until his parole date in June, 2023 & parole hearing.

5/4/20: Criminal complaint filed. Affidavit of probable cause. 5/8/20: Amended complaint filed by Judge Matthew Bever. 1/3/22: Motion to transport. 1/4/22: Order to transport filed by Judge Matthew Bever. 1/13/22 Update: Video arraignment hearing was held. Formally charged with felony murder & felony rape. Defendant to be transported from IDOC. 1/13/22: Warrant returned-served. Constitutional rights warning by Judge David Eames. Order appointing public defender. No contact order issued by Judge Eames. Next preliminary hearing on 1/25/22 in front of Judge John Meienhofer & Magistrate Thomas W. Whitney @ 8:30am.
 
I think this means the preliminary hearing scheduled for today was rescheduled to Feb. 23? Because of request for discovery?

I just realized the preliminary hearing, set for tomorrow Feb. 23, 2022, is exactly 40 years minus 1 day from the murder of Daralyn.

I reached out to a few reporters but don't know if anyone will be tweeting from the hearing, I doubt it. Just have to wait for the reports.

Justice for Daralyn.

Thanks for reminding me, @Niner. I forgot.

Yes continued again!
I wonder why? Trying to get more evidence, or a plea deal? He's already in prison.
