On Friday, the court found probable cause and decided to bind over the case for trial.

According to the criminal complaint, Nauman claimed that the victim, Manning, was lying at the bottom of the stairs for approximately 10 minutes before he discovered her. Nauman then stated that he carried her upstairs and placed her on the floor. Police found a knife with blood on it near the kitchen sink.

When questioned about why he didn’t report the incident earlier, Nauman explained that he was afraid and unsure of what to do.
