Magisterial District Judge Fred Miller announced on Friday that the preliminary hearing for murder suspect Nathan Shaw has been continued until late January.
\nShaw is accused of murdering six-year-old Jared Klein of Tyrone and raping the boy\u2019s mother on Dec. 26. The 25-year-old man was charged with those crimes and several other offenses earlier this week after his return from Oklahoma.
\nShaw was apprehended in Kay County, OK two days after the Tyrone crimes after a high-speed chase. He crashed a stolen car and led police on a brief foot pursuit before surrendering.
\nShaw was brought back to Pennsylvania on a parole violation. A private transport company hired by the state picked Shaw up in Oklahoma on Jan. 6 and he arrived back in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Tyrone Police arrested Shaw after he was taken to SCI Houtzdale upon his return to Pennsylvania.
\nAfter his arraignment on Tuesday night he was taken to Blair County Prison and held without bail. A preliminary hearing was originally set for next Tuesday. Miller said the hearing was continued on his motion.
\nThe hearing will be held at the Blair County Courthouse instead of Judge Miller\u2019s office in Snyder Township. Miller told The Daily Herald he worked with the court administrator to have use of a courtroom that day. Judge Miller will preside over the preliminary hearing.
\nIt is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 27.
\nSince the boy\u2019s death and the crimes against his mother, the Tyrone community has offered its support to the family and reached out to others affected by the events.
\nOfficials at the boy\u2019s school, St. Matthew Elementary, offered counseling for both parents and students. It also offered a program earlier this week about domestic violence.
\nA benefit dance for Klein\u2019s mother will be held this evening from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Hookie\u2019s Fire Department in Tyrone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
