HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) – A five-year-old case for the slaying of a Hot Springs
Village police dispatcher scheduled to begin Monday has been stalled due to new
DNA evidence.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the first-degree murder trial of
33-year-old Kevin Duck was rescheduled to begin on March 27. Defense Attorney T.
Clay Janske filed the motion Wednesday. He says more time is needed to review
the additional evidence delivered Wednesday morning. Judge Homer Wright granted
the request on Thursday.
In 2013, Duck was arrested in connection to the death of his girlfriend,
46-year-old Dawna Natzke, whose body was found in 2011 submerged in a pond in
northern Garland County. Autopsy reports showed Natzke died by blunt-force
trauma and drowning.
The case has been rescheduled seven times since 2014.
