12/10 UPDATE: Patrick Stallworth Prelimination Hearing
- A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge ruled that he has found enough probable cause to send the capital murder case of Patrick Stallworth to a grand jury. Derick Irisha Brown’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday morning with the same judge.
- Significant levels of meth and trazodone were found in Kamille’s body during the autopsy, however her cause of death was listed as asphyxiation.
- Kamille’s remains were left in a construction dumpster at the Center Point apartment complex for ten days before being found
- Patrick’s, Derick’s, and Kamille’s DNA was found in blood stains that were left on a plastic sheet around a mattress laying in the living room of Derick’s apartment.
- Patrick purchased about $20 worth of candy from a gas station just before arriving near Tom Brown Village the day of Cupcake’s disappearance. He allegedly approached a group of teens and claimed he was looking for a little girl. Patrick initially denied this, but finally admitted to it after her remains were found.
- Derick allegedly hinted at the possibility that Kamille’s remains were in the dumpster at her complex.
- Patrick claims that he returned home to Derick’s apartment and found Kamille sitting on the couch watching TV. Derick allegedly said she wanted to keep Kamille and asked Patrick to “do something sexual with her.” Patrick refused her request, however he did go to a gas station that evening to go purchase an energy drink and a sexual performance pill.
- Patrick claims that he watched Derick place her hands over Kamille’s mouth and nose and watched her “go to sleep.” When asked what he meant by asleep, Patrick said he knew she was dead. He claims that Derick removed Kamille’s hair bows, barrettes, and clothes before giving her a bath.
- Kamille’s autopsy report says there was no evidence of sexual assault but the level of decomposition could have ruined any evidence. Detective Jonathan Ross testified under cross examination that Patrick’s DNA was not found on Kamille’s remains.
