SAPULPA - A hearing for a man who is charged as an accessory to first-degree murder after the fact in connection with the 1992 disappearance and deaths of three people was postponed Monday.
Grover Prewitt Jr. was charged after the bodies of Wendy Camp; her 6-year-old daughter, Cynthia Britto; and Camp's sister-in-law, Lisa Kregear, were found buried in April on land that he and his late mother owned at separate times in the early 1990s.
Creek County Special Judge Richard Woolery rescheduled Prewitt's hearing for Sept. 27. Prewitt, who is out of jail on bond, has pleaded not guilty.
According to an affidavit, he told investigators that he dug a hole for a septic tank and that after the women and girl disappeared, his mother, Ida Prewitt, asked him to fill it in and sprinkle the ground with pepper to cover up any odor.
Prewitt told police he thought the request was odd but did as his mother asked.
He told investigators he suspected that the bodies were in the hole but didn't look before a backhoe operator filled it in. The backhoe operator died years ago, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors allege that Prewitt deliberately interfered with attempts to prosecute his mother, who died in 2011, and other family members.
They state in court documents that investigators had Prewitt wear a wire to try to elicit incriminating statements from relatives. The effort failed, and investigators contend that Prewitt sabotaged the investigation.
