Investigators believe Casey Parsons and her husband Sandy Parsons killed their adopted daughter in late 2011. Both are charged with first-degree murder, and both could face the death penalty.
The judge Monday did not schedule a trial for Sandy Parsons. Both Casey and Sandy Parsons served time in federal prison for collecting government benefits for their adoptive daughter after her disappearance.
