GUILTY IN - Kimberly Dyer, 31, burned, tortured, mutilated, murdered, Elkhart, 22 Oct 2019 *Arrests*

@FrostedGlass - any updates for his new petition? Denied?? Hopefully! TIA!

Not denied; it hasn't even been heard yet. His atty asked for another continuance for the status conference and it was granted. Next scheduled is 01/15/2026. His atty, Mark Koselke, has a lot to untangle, IMO
