Wonder what this means? Is Bath withdrawing or one of the other attorneys?
 
Filed yesterday for Dustin Hilt - 01/11/2010 SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM/BUSINESS RECORDS ISSUED TO DA 2

Sixteen Witnesses to Testify in Case of Murdered Teen, Keighley Aylea

OLATHE, KAN - The judge said the court would remain open all night if necessary so that all 16 witnesses could be heard. If the judge determines there is enough evidence, the case could move to trial, where three young men will be tried for her murder.

Overland Park, Kan., police said 18-year-old Aylea was attacked, killed, and dumped in a Cass County field on Sept. 30, 2009. Prosecutors have charged Gerald Scott Calbeck, Dustin Hilt and Joseph Mattox with first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and robbery. All three were 18 at the time of Aylea's murder.
 
Thank you for that update. What a bunch of arrogant little loser punks. Hope they lock them up and throw away the key.

Keighley Ann Alyea begged for her life, police testified Tuesday, but her killers took it anyway.

The 18-year-old from Overland Park died last year of about 30 stab wounds, multiple blunt injuries and a fractured skull, according to testimony Tuesday.

After hearing evidence for more than eight hours in the murder, a Johnson County District judge took just seconds to find probable cause to support murder charges against three men.

Dustin Hilt, 18, of Shawnee; Gerald &#8220;Scott&#8221; Calbeck, 19, of Merriam; and Joseph Mattox, 22, of Overland Park pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

According to Detective Lance Jordan, Mattox said he hit Alyea with a car jack handle and pulled her in the back seat, where he and Calbeck beat her as Hilt yelled at them to stop her screaming.

They thought she was dead, threw her into the trunk and decided to dump her in Cass County.

&#8220;At one point ... they heard pounding in the trunk and someone was yelling &#8216;help me,&#8217;&#8194;&#8221; Jordan testified.

Jordan said they stopped on a gravel road and pulled her out of the trunk. She said she wouldn&#8217;t tell on them and asked them to leave her there or take her to a hospital.

Hilt demanded that she give them her money, the detetective said, then took it and stabbed her. Stabbed repeatedly and beaten more, she died.

Keighley Ann Alyea begged for her life, police testified Tuesday, but her killers took it anyway.

The 18-year-old from Overland Park died last year of about 30 stab wounds, multiple blunt injuries and a fractured skull, according to testimony Tuesday.

After hearing evidence for more than eight hours in the murder, a Johnson County District judge within seconds found probable cause to support murder charges against three men.

Alyea was murdered in the early morning hours of Sept. 30 after getting a text message from former boyfriend Hilt to pick him up. Her body remained missing until police found it days later in a Cass County field.

Statements from Mattox and Calbeck, cell phone records and DNA evidence broke the case, according to police testimony Tuesday.

But police said it was still unclear whether the killing was planned from the start.

Alyea came to pick them up, and they went to a convenience store. Hilt took over driving with Alyea in the passenger seat and the other two in back.

Alyea said things that upset Mattox &#8212; &#8220;she talked trash about him,&#8221; Jordan said.

Mattox hit her with a car jack handle and pulled her in the back seat where he and Calbeck beat her as Hilt yelled at them to stop her screaming.

Schnabel said Mattox beat her until they thought she was dead, but she came to in the trunk, and Mattox and Hilt took her into the woods and one of them stabbed her. He said the three also took $80 from her and two bottles of prescription pills. He couldn&#8217;t say exactly why they did it, the detective said.

Preliminary Hearing Begins In Alyea Case
Witness Says Alyea's Ex-Boyfriend Came Over On Night In Question
POSTED: 1:07 pm CST January 19, 2010
UPDATED: 2:01 pm CST January 19, 2010

Three witnesses took the stand Tuesday morning during the preliminary hearing for the men charged in the case of the death of Keighley Alyea, who disappeared from Overland Park in October and whose body was found days later in rural Cass County.

The highlight during the morning was when Alyea's best friend, Jessica Beebe, 19, took the stand and testified that she was at Alyea's apartment the night of the incident. She said Alyea wanted to get in touch with her ex-boyfriend, Hilt, to get crack cocaine.

Beebe also said that Hilt wanted Alyea to come over that night, but Beebe advised her friend against it. Beebe said she believed Alyea likely sold Xanax, which she claims everyone was using on the night in question.

The hearing was expected to continue through the day with about a dozen more witnesses waiting to testify.

Preliminary hearing in Keighley Alyea homicide
January 20, 2010
<snipped>
KSHB says the three suspects in the Keighley Alyea homicide are expected to appear in court this morning for a preliminary hearing. Alyea was killed a few months ago when she was abducted in Overland Park, killed and then dumped in a field in Cass County. From one of our earlier posts:

Dustin B. Hilt, 18, of Shawnee; Gerald S. Calbeck, 18, of Merriam; and Joseph D. Mattox, 21, of Overland Park are each facing charges of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

... Prosecutors say that Alyea was lured over to go see Hilt at 1:30 in the morning, thanks to an urgent text message. The two had dated for a few years, but friends and family say it was an abusive relationship and involved drugs. They say Alyea had broken things off and gotten clean, but others say the two still had some contact.

Police: Teen Begged For Her Life Before Ex Stabbed Her With Hunting Knife
January 19, 2010
<snipped>
Overland Park Police said two of the three men accused of killing 18-year-old Keighley Alyea last September confessed to the crime. Testimony at Tuesday's preliminary hearing included never before released details about her murder.

The hearing was still underway on Tuesday evening at the Johnson County Courthouse, so it is not known if Alyea's ex-boyfriend confessed, but his best friend and cousin definitely did.

Detectives said Alyea was still alive after her abductors thought they'd beat her to death. Police said confessions from two suspects reveal her ex-boyfriend Dustin Hilt, his cousin Joe Mattox and his best friend Scott Calbeck heard Alyea pounding from her car trunk begging for help.

Police said the three suspects pulled the car over, took her out of the trunk and asked if she would rat on them. Detectives said Alyea promised to tell no one and begged the three men to drop her off at a hospital.

Instead, police said Hilt stabbed her with a hunting knife in the stomach and Calbeck admitted to kicking her in the head.

Then police said the three drove her to a field near Harrisonville and dumped her body, but not before taking $80 from her pocket. Alyea's father was in the courtroom and heard all the testimony. He said the three suspects spent the $80 the next day on cigarettes and McDonald's.

Detectives said the three drove Alyea's car back to Overland Park and tried to clean the bloody car with bleach. A few days later, police found her car abandoned at an apartment complex.

Mattox told police that Hilt wanted to hurt Alyea and take her car, but never mentioned murder as part of the plan. But Calbeck told investigators it was Mattox who mentioned wanting to kill Alyea and who first attacked her with a metal jack handle in the back of her car as they drove her around.

Calbeck told police all three stuffed her in the trunk, assuming she was dead until a few minutes later when they heard her pounding from the trunk, screaming for help.

A motive was not revealed except that police said that Calbeck said Mattox just went crazy in the back seat.

Police have not given a motive for the crime, but friends of Aylea said she and her former boyfriend, Dustin Hilt, had a history of violence and there was a history of drug abuse among all those in the case.

Some of Aylea's family and friends attended the hearing, wearing buttons with her picture on it.

UPDATED: A Kansas judge has decided there is enough evidence for three young men to stand trial for the murder of 18-year-old Keighley Aylea.
January 19, 2010
<snipped>
Overland Park, Kan., police said Joe Mattox and Scott Calbeck confessed to killing Aylea last September. Police said Aylea's former boyfriend, Dustin Hilt had not confessed, but prosecutors have charged all three with first degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and robbery.

Testimony at Tuesday's preliminary hearing included never before released details about Aylea's murder. Detectives said Alyea was still alive after her abductors thought they had beaten her to death and stuffed her in the trunk of her car. Police said confessions from Mattox and Calbeck revealed the three men, all 18 at the time of the crime, heard Alyea screaming and pounding from inside the trunk, begging for help.

Police said the three suspects pulled the car over, took her out of the trunk and asked if she would rat them out. Detectives said Alyea promised to tell no one and begged the three men to drop her off at a hospital. Instead, police said Hilt stabbed her with a hunting knife in the stomach and Calbeck admitted to kicking her in the head. In all, Aylea suffered at least 29 stab wounds, at least nine to the chest. Detectives said she had been smothered and had been beaten around her head and neck.

Mattox told police that Hilt wanted to hurt Alyea and take her car, but never mentioned murder as part of the plan. But Calbeck told investigators it was Mattox who mentioned wanting to kill Alyea and who first attacked her with a metal jack handle in the back of her car as they drove her around.

A motive was not revealed except that police said that Calbeck said Mattox just went crazy in the back seat.

So the next hearings are on April 29 and May 5. Calbeck's on May 5 is a motion to suppress and Hilt's...gave no further information. The information the police gave apparently from confessions was so horrific as to make me wonder how long this charade will continue. These three will go down, the question is who goes down for what and for how long.

My sincerest condolences to Keighley's friends and family. The whole thing leaves me.....at a loss for words.
 
Poor little thing. She must have been so afraid. I'm glad she put up a fight. Took 3 stupid loser punks to kill her. Idiots.
 
It makes me sick to read what happened to her. I have a lot going on with my parents, so I have been MIA for a bit and haven't been keeping up with what's going on with this case, but I'm wondering why the DA hasn't upgraded the charges to capital murder?

One thing that did catch my eye is that Dustin Hilt's attorney is Paul Cramm. Paul Cramm represented Edwin Hall in the Kelsey Smith murder case. Carl Cornwell joined Cramm once the charges were upgraded to capital murder. If I am reading this correctly, Dustin Hilt is the only one of these three that has not confessed to killing Keighley.

Back when I was at the courthouse following the Edwin Hall hearings, I left confused more times than not. Not one time did Cramm or Cornwell say their client was innocent. In fact, at one press conference, they talked about Kelsey and her family. If I remember correctly, someone here (maybe Luke or Lola) uncovered the fact that Cramm and Carl Cornwell took this case to save Edwin Hall from getting the DP ... and that they have a history of doing this. I don't remember for sure, but I think Cramm worked with Cornwell at one point in time.

IMO, this might happen...

Since Hilt hasn't confessed, his charges will be upgraded to capital murder. If Carl Cornwell shows up on the scene, then I am sure this is what's going on. Cramm and Cornwell are only there to keep Hilt off death row.

All three of these guys can be charged in federal court and in Missouri. So, IMO, all three of these guys are going to be offered a plea deal of some sort. They'll take it and in exchange, they'll cut a deal so they won't be charged in the federal court system (where they will be put to death) ... and maybe this will include MO. I think that Hilt's charges may be the only one that's upgraded because of his failure to confess. Part of the plea deal for Maxttox and Calbeck will be they will have to testify against Hilt. IMO, they'll all end up with LWOP ... and Hilt will not be on death row.

Kansas hasn't put anyone to death since the mid-60's, but MO and the feds will certainly do this, and their attorney's know this.


This is only speculation on my part, but from what went on with Hall, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the same thing doesn't play out with these guys. The bottom line is all three of these guys are toast. The good thing is we now have a competent DA in office, so these guys should be worried. Steve Howe knows his stuff. It's so nice to not think about what's going on in our DA's office. I can't tell you what a zoo it was around here when Kline was in office. Howe is doing his job, and that's a relief to the citizens of this county.
 
Heartbreaking.
R.I.P. Keighley.
Soar with the angels.
 
The story you posted luv leaves some room for Calbeck. Clearly he is telling all he knows -- but what kind of deal will he cut?
 
this showed up on jococourts for dustin hilt -- nothing for calbeck or mattox

01/28/2010 FILE STAMP 1/27/2010, MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
 
The story you posted luv leaves some room for Calbeck. Clearly he is telling all he knows -- but what kind of deal will he cut?

I admit that I haven't really had the time to follow this case, but since Hilt is the only one that hasn't confessed, I think they're going to offer Calbeck and Mattox a lesser sentence in exchange for testifying against Hilt. Hilt will get LWOP, IMO and the others might be offered parole. Just speculation on my part ... and I could be completely wrong.

The possibility of facing Federal charges and MO charges are also on the horizon. I think they are going to wheel and deal so those charges are never filed.
