Woman accused of aiding murder suspect waives preliminary hearing

  Published at

IDAHO FALLS — A preliminary hearing for a woman accused of leaving town with a murder suspect has been waived, landing the case in district court.

Deena Aday is charged with accessory to a felony, which is itself a felony. Aday has had multiple preliminary hearings rescheduled since her Nye County Nevada arrest in late November. Last week her hearing was waived. She is due back in court later this month for an arraignment hearing.

Jeremy White, the defendant in the murder of long-time girlfriend Christin Caldwell, was arrested along with Aday. The pair were later transported back to Bonneville County after waiving extradition.

White and Aday fled Idaho in mid-November following the death of Caldwell. A nationwide manhunt ensued before the pair were arrested on Nov. 25 in Pahrump, Nevada.

Aday, who was in a romantic relationship with White, continues to cooperate with prosecutors in regards to White’s case, according to Bonneville County Prosecutor Danny Clark.
