Teen suspect in death of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell makes first court appearance
A 15-year-old boy arrested in connection to the death of a 10-year-old girl made his first appearance in Adams County court on Monday.
The juvenile, who has not been identified, appeared at a detention hearing where he was ordered to continue to be held without bond, said Sue Lindsay, an Adams County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman.
The teen is under investigation of murder in the death of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell, who went missing last week in Thornton after last being last seen with her 15-year-old stepbrother.
Authorities have not yet officially said whether the suspect is the same boy who was last seen with her. The teen suspect appeared in court Monday as a juvenile, and the hearing was closed.
A Gofundme page, “Kiaya Campbell Memorial,” has raised more than $14,500 as of 4 p.m. Monday.
