Haleigh Maynard appeared in the 14th District Court Sept. 10 before Judge J.
Cedric Simpson, who scheduled a competency examination for Nov. 19.
Maynard will undergo evaluations for
both competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility, records show.
A transcription of a swear-to
hearing recently obtained by The Ann Arbor News reveals investigators found
Maynard's fingerprints at the crime scene.
"The investigation sparked ...
lengthy scene-processing, during which a lot of evidence was gathered by the
Michigan State Police Crime Lab," Ypsilanti police Detective Robert Peto
told a magistrate while swearing to the arrest warrant prior to Maynard's
arraignment last month. "During the course of the investigation and ...
upon receiving some of the results from analysis of the items that were taken,
it was found that some latent prints on the scene ... as Haleigh Elizabeth
Maynard."
She was taken into custody for the
fatal stabbing after being arrested on an outstanding warrant in Canton
Township, according to records.
"Miss Maynard had, under
Miranda, given a confession to the homicide of Gary Schneider," Peto told
the magistrate. "...She provided details that would have been known only
to the investigators."
Investigators still aren't releasing
exactly what those details are or what brought the 23-year-old woman and
71-year-old man together at his house at 407 Charles St. in Ypsilanti on March
26.
Schneider was found dead on the
floor of his home with multiple stab wounds in his neck and head area, police
said.
The discovery was made after an area
woman found his wallet on the sidewalk nearby and attempted to return it.
Police have said the elderly man and
young woman were in a verbal argument that turned violent.
Maynard remains in custody at the
Forensic Center in York Township where she will undergo the evaluations.
