HE KILLED A PREDATOR? At a preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented evidence they say links 18-year-old Kian Neal to the killing of registered sex offender Robert Locke, including a recorded police interview in which Neal confessed to targeting Locke after finding him on the sex offender registry because he believed he was carrying out "justice." According to investigators, Neal admitted to entering Locke's home, restraining him with zip ties, killing him with a hammer, dismembering the body, and disposing of the remains in a dumpster, with surveillance video allegedly capturing part of the disposal. Prosecutors also introduced evidence including Locke's blood found in Neal's vehicle, surveillance footage showing Locke entering the vehicle before his disappearance, and testimony from a juvenile who said Neal confessed and expressed remorse. Police searched the Birchwood Landfill based on Neal's statements but have not announced that Locke's remains were recovered. A judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury, and Neal remains in custody. #TrueCrime #MurderCase #CourtNews #VigilanteJustice
