Video surveillance tapes from the high-rise residence of William Curl, 34, the DeKalb man charged with the murder of Antinette “Toni” Keller, were turned over to his defense attorney during a status update today.

Curl lived at Golden Years Plaza, a high-rise apartment building at 507 E. Taylor St., before he was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals Oct. 26 in Covington, La., for unlawful possession of a converted motor vehicle and obstruction of justice. The building provides low-income public housing, according to the Housing Authority of the County of DeKalb website.

Test results on shoes found by police in a landfill are the “most prominent” known evidence the prosecution and defense are waiting for before moving to trial, said Clay Campbell, DeKalb County State’s Attorney.

The reports from the Illinois State Police Crime Lab will determine whether the shoes are connected to the allegations against Curl, Campbell said.

According to a previous motion filed by the DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office, Curl described the death of Keller, including the clothes and shoes he was wearing at the time, during a police interview, He told police he threw away his suede shoes because the blood stains could not be removed.

After conducting a search at a garbage dump during the course of the investigation, police found several shoes that could potentially belong to Curl, according to the court document. Prosecutors requested a DNA sample from Curl to identify if the shoes were his.

Regina Harris, Curl’s defense attorney, agreed Nov. 30 that he would provide a DNA sample.

Campbell said after court today that because the investigation is ongoing, it is difficult to say what additional evidence, or discovery, might need to be exchanged before the case can move to trial.

“Once we have exchanged all of the discovery, we’ll … be in a position, at some point, to set a motion for trial,” he said.

Motions filed by either side also could delay the start of a trial, he said.

Curl is charged with five counts of first-degree murder, one count of arson, one count of criminal sexual assault and one count of concealment of a homicide. He pleaded not guilty to all counts during his arraignment Feb. 22.

He appeared today before Judge Robbin Stuckert via closed-circuit TV from DeKalb County Jail, where he is being held on $5 million bond.

Curl’s next court date is set for 8:45 a.m. Aug. 2.
