ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Defense attorneys for the suspect in the 1998 murder of Stephanie Condon are ready to begin calling witnesses.

Condon’s remains were found in 2009 in a remote spot near Glide in Southern Oregon, and 41-year-old Dale Wayne Hill was arrested on an aggravated murder charge.

The Roseburg News-Review reports that prosecutors finished their case Friday. The judge denied a defense motion to acquit Hill.

The paper says defense witnesses are expected to begin taking the stand on Tuesday. The trial was expected to take eight to 10 weeks but is ahead of schedule.

Condon disappeared on the night before Halloween in 1998 when she was baby-sitting for a relative.
