Police: Nevada man fabricated alibi in teen girl's killing
18-year-old Bryce Dickey of Spring Creek, was charged Monday with murder in the March 8 death of 16-year-old Gabrielle ``Britney” Ujlaky.
Authorities say they have the option to amend that charge to include sexual assault, according to the Elko Daily Free Press.
Dickey was being held
without bail Tuesday in the Elko County Jail. District Attorney Tyler Ingram
could pursue the death penalty so Dickey must be appointed a death-penalty-qualified lawyer before his court appearance.
A detective’s probable cause statement says
evidence implicating Dickey includes blood on a pair of boots and sweatshirt, and a used condom that tested positive for the DNA of Dickey and Ujlaky.
Her body was found March 11. A condom wrapper was found in the road,
along with keys on a lanyard with “Britney” on it.
Dickey agreed to provide a DNA sample after the body was identified March 13 and he was confronted with contradictions in statements.
