Man To Face Hearing In Teens Death

Prosecutors were preparing to outline evidence against a Kansas man accused of killing a 14-year-old girl whose burned body was found near an asphalt company where he worked.

Adam Joseph Longoria of Great Bend is charged with capital murder and criminal sodomy in the August killing of Alicia DeBolt. Longoria faced a preliminary hearing Thursday in Barton County District Court.

Judge Hannelore Kitts will determine after hearing the prosecution’s case whether there’s enough evidence to proceed to trial. Longoria is expected to enter his plea at that time.
