I looked all the way to the 9th.. Wonder if he got moved to another County? Is that possible?
Hmmm... I dunno, he's still listed as an inmate in Wise county jail. I'd assumed Athena's body was found in Wise county, supposedly near Boyd so unless they moved him for tighter security/safety he should be in Wise. Even then they'd bring him back for the arraignment, which if I understand has to occur within a certain timeframe. Oh, unless his attorney waived or delayed it. MOO.
