Yesterday, on Feb. 11, 2014, a grand jury indicted Antolin Garcia-Torres in a series of violent attacks on South Bay women in 2009 and the 2012 abduction and killing of a 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl, Sierra LaMar.
Antolin Garcia-Torres, 22, was previously charged with killing Sierra, 15, in 2012 and attempting to kidnap three women in 2009.
But the indictment handed down by the grand jury behind closed doors eliminates the need for a preliminary hearing of the evidence in open court, and means that Garcia-Torres will proceed to a jury trial.
He has yet to enter a plea since his arrest in May 2012.
The suspect is due to appear in Superior Court in San Jose on Thursday to be arraigned on the indictment.
