Trial dates have been set for two people charged with first-degree murder in connection to the 2011 murders of Rusty and Becky Porter.


The Porter's went missing from their home near Willard in April of 2011.  Their remains were found later that summer in a heavily wooded area in rural Taney County.

The trial for Rusty Porter's uncle, Robert Campbell, 68, who is free on bond, is scheduled for October 16, 2014.  Attorney's for Campbell asked for a change of venue and Judge Mark Orr ruled that a jury from another county, which thus far has not been named, will be brought to Taney County to hear the case.
