LEWISTOWN On Thursday, during the second day of a Mifflin County homicide trial stemming from a 2019 crash, the defense called into question the reliability of key data.
Stuart Wayne Bryant, 61, of Coatesville, is facing third-degree homicide and other charges from the Jan. 28, 2019 collision that killed Mifflin County Junior High School teacher and football coach Harry Aultz at the intersection of U.S. 22 Business and Hoss Drive in Granville Township.
The main witness of the day was Frank Gaus, who is a collision analysis and reconstruction specialist with the Pennsylvania State Police and who was involved in the crash investigation.
A 42-year-old man from Duncannon in Perry County was charged Sunday with homicide, kidnapping and abuse of a corpse after the body of Erica Shultz, Bloomsburg, was found in a wooded area east of Hobbie Road in Butler Twp.
Harold David Haulman III admitted to killing Shultz, who was autistic and whom he met on an online dating site in November.
He was taken into custody and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility following an arraignment before Magisterial District Judge Daniel OâDonnell in Drums.
Haulman was denied bail because of the homicide charge and for being a threat to the public and himself, authorities said.
