Stacey Wondra - Preliminary Hearing Closers and Verdict
from True Crime Squad · host Kristi Brower
At Stacey Wondra’s preliminary hearing, prosecutors played lengthy police interview footage in which Wondra described Michael Vaughan being taken to the Wondra home, restrained with duct tape, placed in a duffel bag, and later transported to another location, while defense attorneys argued those statements were inconsistent and not a true confession. Michael’s parents also testified emotionally about the day he disappeared, while detectives explained cadaver dog alerts, surveillance evidence, and why investigators believe Michael was first buried in the Wondra backyard before being moved. By the end of the three-day hearing, the judge found probable cause to move the case forward, meaning Wondra will now stand trial on murder, kidnapping, and evidence-destruction charges.Join our squad!
