Weather postpones preliminary hearing for accused killer of Golden City girl

The preliminary hearing for Bobby Dale Bourne, originally scheduled for today, has been postponed until 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, due to weather preventing transportation of Bourne to the Barton County Courthouse.

Bourne, 34, Lockwood, is charged with first degree murder, forcible rape, statutory rape, and kidnapping in connection with the August 19 death of 12-year-old Adriaunna Horton of Golden City.

Bourne is currently serving a 15-year sentence, which was handed down in Cedar County after he admitted he had violated his probation by not attending a court-ordered Batterer Intervention Program.

As noted earlier in the Turner Report, Bourne was on probation for charges of domestic assault, assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest when Adriaunna Horton was raped and murdered..

As noted in the August 22 Turner Report, Bourne remained free even after he was arrested in Dade County after being charged with assault on an underage girl and assaulting the girl's mother.
