According to the recently filed State’s Notice of Brady Material, Trueblood asked to speak to an investigator regarding the case. On June 19, he told detectives, “he was the one who killed ‘Bo’ Thomas and Daniel Sigers, and that Curtis Austin and Waylon Hannah were not involved other than helping him get rid of the guns.”

Trueblood told detectives he threatened to hurt the younger suspects and their families if they spoke about his role in the murders.

Trueblood’s confession prompted the state attorney’s office to file a Brady Material notice on Wednesday.

Pre-trial conference hearings are scheduled for Trueblood and Hannah on July 18. It is unknown what’s next for Austin who is still a minor.
