Montgomery District Judge Troy Massey said Friday he was, “stunned by the brutality” involved in the murder of 92-year-old Mary Lou Gedel.

Defendant, Rodney McQueen, appeared before Massey for a preliminary hearing, where Detective G. Naquin testified that McQueen’s DNA was on Gedel’s back door, and throughout her home.

On October second, Gedel’s friend went to her house after she missed several events, and didn’t answer her phone. While they didn’t get a response at the door, they observed the back door was forced open and called police.

Naquin testified that police found Gedel sitting in a chair with ‘massive’ facial and head injuries, beaten with a tall brass lamp and beer bottles, and stabbed.

“The lamp was caved in on all sides and had been ripped from the wall in the living room”, said Naquin, citing the cord and plug still connected to the outlet in another room.

Naquin testified that fragments from the broken beer bottles and plastic wrappers were embedded in Gedel’s skull. One of the victim’s ears had been cut off and was on the floor.

Gedel’s house was ransacked according to Naquin, littered with beer bottles, and her jewelry had been rifled through and strewn throughout the house. Investigators found jewelry near the fence on Gedel’s property, along with blood on the fence with a DNA profile that matched McQueen’s.

Naquin said that police were unable to locate the victim’s cell phone in the house. When dialing the number, a man answered, who later confirmed by photo that he received the phone and some jewelry from McQueen.

When McQueen was arrested, Naquin testified that he interviewed the defendant, who denied ever going to the victim’s house and committing the murder. Naquin said after he told McQueen that his DNA was located at the crime scene, McQueen asked for an attorney.

Naquin began photographing injuries on McQueen’s arms that were consistent with the scratches and cuts that would stem from breaking through the glass window on the victim’s back door. That’s when the defendant told Naquin he would tell him what happened if he could smoke a cigarette.

Naquin testified that McQueen said that he was ‘mental and on drugs’, but remembered walking past the house in question on Thursday with jewelry and a pink phone.

During the hearing, McQueen made an outburst while Naquin was testifying about the DNA matching McQueen’s profile. The defendant’s head was lowered while the detective described the injuries that ended Gedel’s life.

Judge Massey found probable cause of McQueen’s involvement in the crime, and bound the case over to be considered by a grand jury, and denied McQueen’s bond request.

McQueen is charged with capital murder-robbery and capital murder-burglary.

‘mental and on drugs’,

That's not how an insanity plea works, if you know you're mental, you're usually not.

With all the DNA he left at the scene, the only thing he forgot was the sign on the door with his name on it.
 
Fuckin' bastard. Now he can add another one of those stupid tear drop tats to show he's killed someone else. I only wish that shepherd was still with her at the time and chewed his fugly face off before he had the chance to do any fucking thing. Rot in hell scum bag.
 
That 92 yr old lady was still active enough to have been missed at several events and this little bastard slaughtered her. Her life was worth a thousand of his.
 
Rodney McQueen, 33, was convicted of killing 92-year-old Mary Lou Gedel in 2017. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. District Attorney Daryl Bailey said his office was unable to seek a death sentence due to the prohibition of executing people with mental disabilities. McQueen's IQ was reported as in the upper 50s.
