Elizabeth Olten Murder Suspect Hearing to be Open to Public

A Cole County judge ruled that the next hearing for the murder suspect in Elizabeth Olten’s death will be open to the public. The November hearing will determine whether the 15-year-old female suspect charged with first degree murder will be tried as an adult.

If the teen is tried as an adult, her name will be released to the public. An attorney for the suspect argued at Wednesday’s hearing that publicity from Olten’s death will make it impossible for his client to have a fair trial.

The judge also ruled that the suspect will remain in police custody until her trial.

Olten, 9, disappeared October 21 while walking home from a friend’s house in her St. Martin, Missouri neighborhood. Investigators say “written evidence” lead them to the suspect, who led police to Olten’s body in the woods on October 23.

A funeral and burial for Olten was held yesterday.
