Dale Hill appeared in Walker River Justice Court in Yerington, Nev., Wednesday after signing a waiver for extradition on charges stemming from the 1998 death of Stephanie Condon. Hill's attorney, Wayne Pederson is at right.
The man accused of killing Riddle teen Stephanie Condon signed a waiver of extradition this afternoon and will be retrieved by Oregon authorities within the next 10 days.
Dale Wayne Hill, 39, went before a judge in Walker River Justice Court in Yerington, Nev., at 1:30 p.m. today. At the hearing — which had been rescheduled twice — Hill signed the waiver and is now waiting to be returned to Douglas County, a Nevada court official said.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is not revealing any details about when Hill will be retrieved or by which agency, but spokesman Dwes Hutson said the media will be notified once he is back in Douglas County.
“Essentially, we've been notified that he's been ordered to return to Oregon, and that's what we've been waiting for,” Hutson said.
Condon disappeared in October 1998. Hill, a longtime suspect in the case, has denied involvement.
In March, Douglas County authorities announced that remains discovered near Glide weeks earlier belonged to Condon. That same day, Hill was arrested at his home in Dayton, Nev., on a local charge of failing to register as a felon.
Before being released from jail in April, a Douglas County grand jury indicted Hill of aggravated murder, murder and kidnapping in the 14-year-old's death.
