Indictment

The preliminary hearing for Marc Anthony Colon was continued this morning to April 13, 2006 before Justice of the Peace Karen Bennett-Haron. The District Attorney’s Office indicated it was attempting to obtain an indictment from the Clark County Grand Jury. If an indictment is obtained the preliminary hearing date will be vacated. Co-defendant Gladys Perez was indicted by the Grand Jury last week and a trial date of August 22 was set before District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt.

Clark County District Court Judge David Wall unsealed a Clark County Grand Jury indictment this morning charging Gladys Perez with murder in the death of her three-year-old daughter Crystal Figueroa.

Known for nearly six weeks as Jane “Cordova” Doe, the toddler was found dead in a garbage can January 12, 2006. She was recognized by her maternal grandmother following a nationwide search seeking the child’s identity. This tip led police to suspect Perez and her boyfriend Marc Anthony Colon for the child’s death.

Perez will be arraigned in the District Court’s Arraignment Court at 10:30 a.m. on March 29, 2006.

Case Number: 06-C-220720-C, Judge Michelle Leavitt.
