Olathe ? A grand jury has indicted Edwin R. Hall on charges of kidnapping, rape, aggravated sodomy and capital murder in the slaying of 18-year-old Kelsey Smith in June.

Johnson County Attorney Phill Kline said the grand jury indictment replaces charges previously filed by Kline’s office.

Hall, 26, of Olathe, is accused of kidnapping Smith on June 2 from the parking lot of a Target store in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. Grainy surveillance video from the store showed Smith being confronted and pushed into her car.

Her body was found four days later in a park about 20 miles away in Missouri.

Hall was interviewed and arrested the same day, June 6, after he saw himself on television in surveillance video and contacted a lawyer, who contacted police.

The indictment announced Tuesday night makes a preliminary hearing – where evidence in the case would have been presented to determine whether a trial was warranted – unnecessary. Kline said if there been a preliminary hearing, the public would have been privy to evidence before the case got to trial.

Hall’s arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today. After that proceeding, Kline will have five days to decide whether to pursue the death penalty.
