Dalzell indicted on charge of second-degree murder
The man charged in the death of Carrboro resident Deborah Leigh Key was indicted on a charge of second-degree murder Monday before the Orange County Grand Jury, according to Cheryl Parker, an investigatorial assistant with the district attorney's office.
Dalzell was also indicted on a charge of obtaining property by false pretenses and larceny from an employee, both charges that led to his arrest on Sept. 2 in connection to Key's disappearance on Dec. 1, 1997.
He also faces a charge of six counts of third-degree exploitation of a minor but has not yet been indicted, Parker said.
He was arrested on the exploitation counts Sept. 23, while already in Orange County Jail for the second-degree murder charge.
Parker said no trial date has been set for the charges on which Dalzell was indicted Monday.
The hearing for the exploitation counts is pending in district court, she said.
Dalzell is still in Orange County Jail on a secured bond of $70,000 for the second-degree murder charge and $20,000 for the exploitation counts.
