Extradition Hearing Postponed in Feather Murder Case
An extradition hearing for 31 year old Frederick Keith Feather, held on a fugitive warrant in Frederick County Jail, was postponed to allow more time for local lawyers to decide representation and whether to fight extradition to Winchester. The case involves the murder of his wife Betty Jo Feather, with autopsy and tissue analyses delaying final reports. Police say the death occurred in Virginia, though the location remains uncertain, as investigators await complete autopsy results expected mid next month.
