Article text:

A preliminary hearing for the man accused

of killing an 18-year-old Wesleyan College coed has been

set for June 12, a spokesman for the Washington County Court

Clerk's office said Friday.

Joel Joshua Benbow is charged in Washington County District

Court with first-degree murder in the slaying of Nicole Peevy,

whose partially nude body was found in a drainage pipe the day

after she was reported missing on April 15.

Benbow, the son of a Lutheran minister, was charged with

stabbing Peevy to death. Court documents indicate police

found blood stains and rope in his car and at his residence.

Peevy disappeared after leaving a note for her mother saying

she was going to meet Benbow, a former co-worker, at Tuxedo Park.

Benbow said hours before his arrest that he met Peevy at

the park to discuss personal problems, and that he left

her after talking about 30 minutes.

According to court records, Peevy was tied with rope and

shoe laces, wrapped in clear plastic and stabbed repeatedly.
