(KNZA)--A Doniphan County murder suspect has been found competent to stand trial.
District Judge John Weingart recently made the ruling in the case against 41-year-old Christopher Colhour, of St. Joseph, based on an evaluation report from the Larned State Hospital.
A pre-trial conference has now been set for February 6th.
The case was put on hold last year after a motion was granted for the competency evaluation.
Colhour faces charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and felony theft.
He’s charged in the death of 64-year-old St. Joseph resident Daniel Purvis.
His body was recovered from the Missouri River, south of St. Joseph, on May 27th of last year after a week long search. The search was launched after Purvis’ vehicle was located in Troy.
Colhour remains held in the Doniphan County Jail without bond.
