Canada — no court proceeding

Charges have been laid in the death of Robbie Thomson only. No charges have been laid in the deaths of Robert Lambert or Lawrence Bertrim.

Next development to verify: No court date has been published for any of the four accused.

The property is a 16-hectare parcel on Kelly Jordan Road in Montague Township, Lanark County, Ontario, northeast of Smiths Falls. This is a Canadian matter and does not belong on a US calendar.

Nolan Xavier Wells — death investigation

Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Jackson County District Attorney, Jackson County, MS

Open death investigation. No cause or manner of death has been publicly released and no one has been charged. Wells, 18, was found in the water off Horn Island on July 6, 2026, after a Fourth of July boat trip.

Next development to verify: The District Attorney has said the case will be presented to a grand jury. No grand-jury date has been announced.

The Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing, and the sheriff told Wells’s mother shortly after the recovery that he believed the death was accidental. An independent autopsy commissioned by the family returned an undetermined cause and manner of death pending further investigation. The state autopsy is being withheld until the District Attorney presents the case to a grand jury. The NAACP joined the family’s legal team on August 17. We do not repeat unverified claims about the district attorney’s conduct.

Search for Lily Hooper

Australia — no court proceeding

Missing person. No arrest, no charge, no named suspect, and nothing in any source treating the disappearance as suspicious.

Next development to verify: Not applicable. There is no legal proceeding.

Hooper, 18, has not been seen since setting out on a solo hike in Nattai National Park, New South Wales on August 12, 2026. Her vehicle was found at the walking-track trailhead. By August 19 close to 100 Australian Defence Force personnel from the 5th Brigade at Holsworthy had joined roughly 200 police, rescue and VRA Rescue NSW searchers working with trail bikes, horses, dogs and helicopters. Police say there is no trace of Hooper or her belongings, and investigators have examined her phone data. We list this only so readers know it is being followed and that no legal matter exists; it is a search, not a case.

Charge dismissed at this time; homicide investigation remains active.

Next development to verify: Obtain the dismissal order or docket entry and monitor for an official charging decision. Do not publish a future proceeding without a court record.

A named local report quoting the Jeff Davis County Sheriff’s Office says the murder charge against Daniel Sullivan was dismissed “at this time” after new investigative developments. The homicide investigation remains active. A dismissal is not a finding of guilt or innocence, and no new defendant or court setting is listed.

Eugene Albert Horsch — federal firearm and false-credential case

United States District Court, Philadelphia, PA

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Horsch is charged only with federal offenses: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, including a firearm with an obliterated serial number, and possession of an unlawfully produced identification document or authentication feature involving counterfeit FBI and DEA credentials. He was indicted July 9, 2026. He has not been charged with any homicide. He is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty.

Expected next step: Reported federal trial dates conflict — NBC10 Philadelphia reported September 8, 2026 and The Independent later reported September 28, 2026 — so no date is published here until the docket setting can be confirmed.

Philadelphia prosecutors withdrew all five state charges at an August 6, 2026 preliminary hearing, leaving only the two-count federal indictment. Investigators have searched and excavated the Olney property in connection with at least two missing women, but no homicide charge has been filed against anyone and no remains have been publicly identified. This calendar lists only the charges actually on file.

Fraser Michael Bohm — Malibu PCH crash case

Los Angeles County Superior Court, Van Nuys, CA

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Two local outlets reported a September 16 pretrial setting after the September 2 hearing, but no case-specific primary court record or third reliable source was located. Because the three-source threshold is not met, no date is published as confirmed. Bohm is charged with four counts of murder and four counts of gross-negligence vehicular manslaughter, has pleaded not guilty and remains presumed innocent.

Expected next step: Confirm the reported September 16 setting and clock time from a primary record before moving it into the scheduled list. A later pretrial setting is reported for November 4.

Judge Thomas Rubinson moved the trial setting to December 1. The charges remain allegations; a reported pretrial date does not decide guilt.

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Mas’ud has pleaded not guilty to federal aircraft-destruction charges arising from the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The charges are allegations, and he remains presumed innocent.

Expected next step: Await a court-confirmed replacement schedule. January 19 was a reported proposal, not a confirmed setting. The time has not been publicly verified.

The Justice Department’s September 15 status update confirms that the hearing took place and that the court sought a joint proposed pretrial schedule by September 18. The court said it wanted a firm trial date in the new year. The notice does not announce a replacement trial date. Its exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act through January 20, 2027 is not a trial setting.

Christa Gail Pike

Tennessee court proceedings after the September 30 execution attempt

No. 26-5864; U.S. Supreme Court No. 26A428

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Pike survived Tennessee's September 30 execution attempt. Courtroom reporting says a judge ordered preservation of evidence on October 7. Her conviction and death sentence stand; no replacement execution date is verified here.

Expected next step: Monitor official court and corrections notices for further rulings or a new setting. The September 30 attempt is not a completed execution; no new execution date is publicly verified.

Historically, U.S. Supreme Court docket 26A428 records the September 30 order vacating the Sixth Circuit stay, and TDOC's September 30 advisory confirmed transfer to an off-site medical facility. October 7 courtroom reporting says a judge ordered the state to preserve evidence from the failed execution attempt. Her attorneys said she had regained consciousness and was speaking; her prognosis remained unclear. Those medical statements are attributed to counsel, not presented as court findings.

Bobby Lee Hart Jr.

Cobb County Superior Court, Georgia (historical calendar listing); other county court assignments not verified

25CR03715-JAJ (Cobb County)

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

No confirmed upcoming court date has been verified. The Cobb clerk listed Hart's case on a September 16, 2026 trial-status calendar; that historical listing does not establish that a proceeding occurred or a trial began. Hart is charged, not convicted, and is presumed innocent.

Expected next step: The Cobb clerk's September 16, 2026 calendar listed case 25CR03715-JAJ at 9:00 a.m. before Judge Julie Adams Jacobs in courtroom 7300. The clerk explains that calendars titled Jury Trial Call are trial-status calendars. This is a past listing, not a verified upcoming date or proceeding outcome. Check the current docket for any later setting.

Hart was arrested on August 9, 2025 on three counts of rape, with a fourth rape charge added on August 29, 2025. Posts circulating an August 2026 arrest date are wrong by a year. Douglas County indicted him in October 2025 on 18 charges involving seven women, including rape, kidnapping and holding a victim against her will. Cobb County indicted him over a 2006 sexual assault identified through a DNA match after 19 years. Douglas County District Attorney Dalia Racine announced the DNA linkage; Paulding County District Attorney Robert Lane is investigating a 2012 assault and says potential victims may number around 25. Coverage of this case uses a survivor-coined nickname that we do not repeat, because a nickname is not a charge and it is not how a court identifies a defendant. He is charged, not convicted.

Carlos Reales Dominguez

Yolo County Superior Court, Department 14, Woodland, CA

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Committed to a state hospital. On August 19, 2026 Judge Samuel T. McAdam ordered Dominguez placed in a state hospital for a minimum of 180 days, with no eligibility for outpatient treatment during that period. A jury had convicted him of two counts of involuntary manslaughter and acquitted him of second-degree murder and attempted murder, and on July 22 the court found him legally insane at the time of the attacks.

Expected next step: A hearing on the district attorney’s petition to extend the commitment. No date has been published.

The August 19 hearing was a placement review that determined which state facility will house him; state officials will then begin a fuller evaluation of his condition. Family members of those killed delivered victim impact statements before the order was made. His maximum term is six years and four months, already served in Yolo County custody, so the Yolo County District Attorney has petitioned to extend the commitment by up to two years. He would be entitled to a jury trial on any extension. This was never a murder retrial.

Death of Chad Steven Bishop

Brisbane Magistrates Court, Queensland, Australia

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Charged, no plea entered. The remains are believed to be Bishop’s but have not been formally identified, and an autopsy is still to be conducted.

Expected next step: ABC News reports a next court date of September 7. Neither the court nor Queensland Police has published that date, so we are not listing it as a sitting.

Remains were found in a shallow grave beneath a cubby house on Old Trafford Road, Bethania. Queensland Police name no victim and say only that detectives allegedly located human remains. The Queensland Police release identifies the accused as a 52-year-old Bethania man and a 45-year-old Windaroo woman; ABC News names them as Courtenay Williams, 52, and Carlie Rochelle Mordue, 45. Both appeared on August 18, 2026 and the matters were adjourned. Court documents allege that on or about March 2, 2022 the pair improperly interfered with a dead human body. Bishop was reported missing from Beenleigh in March 2022.

Indicted June 29, 2026, on one count of murder; pleaded not guilty at arraignment on June 30. Released on $100,000 surety with $10,000 cash posted, and surrendered her passport. No trial date set. She is presumed innocent unless and until a jury says otherwise.

Expected next step: One report citing the court file gives August 31; another says December. Confirm the next setting with the Bristol County Superior Court clerk before travel or publication.

The 1985 Mansfield newborn case — known for four decades as Baby Boy Doe, or the Mansfield Baby Boy Doe case — was reopened using forensic genetic genealogy. Two outlets that reviewed the court file, The Boston Globe and the Fall River Reporter, both report an August 31 pretrial conference. One broadcast report instead said she was due back in December. We publish the August 31 date because it is the one attributed to the court papers, and we are flagging the disagreement rather than hiding it. Call the clerk before you travel.

Donna Adelson

Florida First District Court of Appeal, Tallahassee, FL

1D2025-2848; originating case 2023CF3226A

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Adelson, 76, was convicted in the 2014 murder-for-hire killing of her former son-in-law, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel, and is serving a life sentence. Her direct appeal is pending. A motion for a new trial was denied in September 2025.

Expected next step: Monitor the current appellate docket for further briefing, an oral-argument setting or a decision. No future oral argument is listed as of this check. Filing a brief or requesting argument does not resolve the appeal or alter the standing conviction.

The Florida First District Court of Appeal public docket lists an initial brief and an amended initial brief filed on August 17, 2026, plus a motion/request for oral argument filed that day. The appeal is marked Open. The docket displays no future oral arguments. A request for oral argument is not a scheduled hearing; this corrects the older report that the initial brief was still awaiting an extension.

James Dolphs Elmore Jr. — pending Texas charges

122nd District Court, Galveston County, Galveston, TX

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

A Galveston County jury convicted Elmore only of manslaughter in the September trial. Prosecutors did not try the two previously indicted evidence-tampering counts involving the remains of Laura Miller and Audrey Cook. September 3 reporting said those evidence-tampering counts and separate charges alleging possession of child sexual abuse material remained pending.

Expected next step: Obtain the written judgment or docket disposition and verify any October setting before publishing a date. Do not claim a conviction on the pending counts.

The Houston Chronicle’s detailed courthouse report states that prosecutors did not pursue tampering convictions in the manslaughter trial; the Guardian independently reports that the tampering and child-abuse-imagery charges remained pending. A conflicting KHOU/CBS19 report is not adopted because it is inconsistent with those stronger, count-specific sources and the Galveston County DA’s manslaughter-only trial listing.

Brambles, 77, a former Los Angeles police detective previously convicted of rape and sentenced to 102 years before being released on elderly parole in 2020, is charged with one count of kidnapping to commit robbery under California Penal Code section 209(b)(1) in a 1994 Thousand Oaks attack, with sentencing allegations attached. Bail is set at $2 million. He is presumed innocent unless and until proved guilty.

Expected next step: A continued arraignment. No date has been publicly verified.

The Ventura County District Attorney announced the charge after new DNA testing of a sexual-assault kit. No sex-offense count was filed because the statute of limitations had run; the single kidnapping count carries a maximum of 12 years to life. Arraignment was set for August 14, 2026. Brambles appeared that day and the arraignment was continued. One outlet has since reported a continued arraignment date in September attributed to county officials.

Michelle Hadley — cleared; the Diaz prosecutions

Ian Diaz post-conviction motion: No. 8:26-cv-00442 (C.D. Cal.)

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Michelle Hadley was never convicted of anything. She was arrested in Orange County, California in 2016 after online posts and threats were falsely attributed to her, and she spent time in custody before being released on her own recognizance in October 2016. The Orange County District Attorney concluded she had been framed, and the charges against her were dismissed in January 2017. She appears on this calendar as a cleared person, not as a defendant.

The people who framed her were prosecuted. Angela Diaz pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior Court and was sentenced on October 18, 2017 to five years in state prison. Ian Diaz, a former deputy U.S. marshal, was convicted by a federal jury on March 23, 2023 of conspiracy to commit cyberstalking, cyberstalking, perjury and obstruction, and was sentenced on June 30, 2023 to 121 months in prison. A motion by Ian Diaz to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 was filed on February 23, 2026 and is still pending before Judge Josephine L. Staton; the docket shows activity through July 2026, but the filings themselves are not publicly readable and no hearing date appears on the public record.

The September 18 report says life terms and a fine of ₹50,000 for each defendant were imposed on Thursday, September 17. The former September 17 sentencing watch is superseded by that report. No court-issued next listing is verified.

Stacey Wondra — Michael Vaughan case

Canyon County District Court, Caldwell, ID

Case No. CR14-26-10252

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Wondra is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, destruction of evidence and a persistent-violator enhancement in the disappearance and presumed death of five-year-old Michael Vaughan. Wondra has pleaded not guilty and remains presumed innocent.

Expected next step: Obtain the hearing disposition and confirm subsequent settings against the court record. The former appointment is not an upcoming hearing.

Stacey Wondra — Michael Vaughan case

Canyon County District Court, Canyon County Courthouse, Caldwell, ID

Case No. CR14-26-10252

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Wondra has pleaded not guilty to charges in Michael Vaughan’s disappearance and presumed death and remains presumed innocent.

Expected next step: Obtain the hearing disposition and any replacement setting from the court record. Do not infer that the hearing occurred, was continued or that the motion was granted or denied. The separate March 29, 2027 trial listing remains unchanged.

The filed August 20 hearing notice set the defense motion to suppress the Thanksgiving apology letter for October 7 at 1:30 p.m. before Judge Brent L. Whiting. That setting has elapsed. The official case index could not be accessed during the October 8 check, and no disposition or replacement setting is verified here. The separate September 29 motion-to-dismiss outcome also remains unverified; no ruling on either motion is asserted.

Utah juvenile — Eli Painter and Jessica Lyman case

Fourth District Juvenile Court, Utah County, UT

Next court date: No confirmed upcoming court date found.

Local reporting says prosecutors formally charged a 16-year-old in juvenile court in the deaths of Eli Painter, 8, and Jessica Lyman, 44. The charging documents are allegations, the juvenile is not named or pictured here, and the juvenile remains presumed innocent unless and until the case is proved in court.

Expected next step: The first publicly verified juvenile-court setting and any formally filed request to transfer the case to adult court.

This entry updates the earlier arrest-only posture. Because no public date or time for the next juvenile proceeding was verified, the calendar does not invent one or state that adult-court transfer has occurred.
