Proceedings continued in 2018 King’s Court Motel murder case

Proceedings were continued in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning in the case against Terrence Stepp, the man accused in the 2018 murder of Tamara Dragoo.

Stepp appeared virtually from the Christian County Jail along with defense attorney Michael Thompson, who informed the court that he has received a significant amount of evidence in this case and needs more time to go through it all.  Circuit Judge John Atkins granted his request and set the next pretrial hearing for March 24, which he says should be ample time to look over the evidence.

Stepp had previously been lodged in the Hopkins County Jail, as that county is where he was apprehended, but he has been transferred back to Christian County.

He is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of burglary tools. Police were called to the King’s Court Motel on Fort Campbell Boulevard in March of 2018 and after an extensive investigation that included interviews of numerous people, a case was presented to the Christian County Grand Jury and a murder indictment was returned against Stepp.
