Four years after a brutal crime, the court case against a Sioux Falls murder suspect is on hold. Investigators believe 23-year-old Amir Beaudion Jr. kidnapped a woman in a Walmart parking lot in 2020 and then raped and killed her. He allegedly dumped her body in rural Lincoln County.

Today, he was back in court. His court-ordered mental health treatment is on hold, and so is the case.

[...]

Last year Beaudoin underwent a mental health test which showed he was suffering from a mental disease or defect and is unable to understand the nature and consequences of the legal proceedings.

The judge ordered Beaudion to receive up to four months of mental health treatment, which can include therapy and medication. But at today’s hearing the judge learned that the competency restoration process hasn’t even begun because Beaudoin is on a waiting list for treatment at the South Dakota Human Services Center.
