Hite Hearing Pushed Again Amid Missing Woman Search

Joshua Hite’s preliminary hearing for the disappearance and alleged murder of Isadora Wengel has been postponed for the third time, now set for July 15th — a delay requested by defense attorneys to ensure the original judge presides. At 21, Hite remains jailed on a $5 million cash-only bail, facing murder and evidence tampering charges. Despite extensive searches across North Dakota and Minnesota, Wengel’s body has never been found. While the hearing is delayed, key trial dates — including a September 15th jury trial — remain intact. The prosecution insists Hite is presumed innocent, while volunteers continue searching for answers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
