The man accused of murdering Rostraver in April has been transferred to Westmoreland County Prison and will face a judge next week.
Dorian Jeri-Greene appeared for a preliminary hearing in Washington County via video Wednesday morning. He was arrested in Florida last month on charges related to a Donora incident that occurred in February.
According to court records, Jeri-Greene broke into his ex-girlfriend’s house by destroying a door frame. Police say he strangled the woman before fleeing the house with a hatchet.
In court Wednesday, the victim informed the judge that she no longer wanted to proceed with the prosecution and refused to testify.
So the district attorney dropped the charges against him in that case. However, Jeri-Greene is still in prison.
After the charges were dropped, Westmoreland County deputies picked him up from the Washington County Jail and transported him to the Westmoreland County Prison.
Jeri-Greene is accused of murdering Jennah Seibert at her Rostraver home in April.
Police said he walked nearly three miles from Monongahela, hiding behind a shed on Seibert’s property and waiting for her fiancé, Bryan Murray, to leave for work.
Murray was seen by Channel 11 at the hearing on Wednesday morning, but he declined to discuss the dropped charges.
According to police, Jeri-Greene removed the electric meter from the home, cutting power to both the security system and the house.
Police say he shot Seibert in her bed, stole her jewelry, and fled.
They tracked him down to a home in Florida after searching pawn shops across several states and discovering the stolen jewelry in Tampa.
Jeri-Greene was scheduled to appear before a judge on Friday for the murder of Seibert. According to the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office, the hearing has been rescheduled for Monday and will now be held at the county courthouse rather than district court due to better security.
That hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m.
