A Northampton County man is heading to trial on charges he brutally murdered his stepdaughter, and abused her corpse.
Gregory Graf, 53, of Allen Township, waived his preliminary hearing Friday afternoon.
Investigators say Graf shot and killed his stepdaughter, Jessica Padgett, 33, back in November.
Officials say Padgett left work at the Duck Duck Goose Daycare in Northampton on Friday, November 21, to send a fax from Graf's home office in Allen Township, where he lived with Padgett's biological mother. The mother was on vacation at the time.
Padgett wasn't heard from again, and when Graf's home and office were searched on November 26, police said they found Padgett's body behind a shed.
Investigators say Graf shot and killed Padgett, then videotaped himself sexually abusing her corpse.
On Friday, District Attorney John Morganelli said he showed the tape of Graf engaging in the sexual act with Padgett's corpse to Graf's attorney, John McMahon.
McMahon then decided to waive the hearing. He says he's looking into a mental health defense.
