Lashanda Person and Annastaja Hathaway are charged with the murder of 84-year old Roscoe Mayes, who was found dead in a Greenville Road home in April 2006.
Person’s attorney, along with Hathaway and her attorney, Brandi Jones, who said this was Doug Moore’s case appeared before Judge Andrew Self Wednesday. Jones said they are waiting on some discovery and transcripts of the audio of interviews.

Person was arrested in Union County in May. Hathaway was arrested in Texas in June after police detectives in Houston responded to a Crimestoppers tip and found her in a full disguise and changed appearance.
A murder charge against a third person who was arrested in this case, Regina Vause, was dropped in July at the request of Christian County Sheriff’s detectives and Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling. Her case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning if the Commonwealth were to discover any evidence that implicates Vause in connection to the crime, she could be re-indicted.
