Nearly three decades after 16-year-old Fred Laster’s dismembered body was found abandoned in a Lake City dumpster, his accused killer, Ronnie Hyde, is going to trial
, his accused killer, Ronnie Hyde, is going to trial. Jury selection starts Monday.
News4JAX spoke with attorney Shannon Schott, who is not affiliated with this case. She said jury selection could take a week and will likely take a large jury pool.“What they are going to be looking for are people who can be fair and impartial despite that the subject matter in this case is arguably the worst subject matter,” Schott said.
Investigators believe Hyde befriended Laster while he was working as a youth pastor in the 80s. Police found the Yulee teen’s body in the dumpster in 1994. Investigators say his family reported him missing in 1995. It wasn’t until 2015 that DNA evidence identified Laster as the victim. Detectives learned Hyde was one of the last people to be around Laster. In 2016 blood on a flannel shirt that was found with Laster’s body matched Hyde.
Throughout the years, victims have come forward saying they were sexually abused by Hyde at his home while they were teenage boys. Hyde also has dozens of child pornography charges against him.
