## Resource

Preston Pierce has been extradited back to Parkersburg from North Carolina and is now locked up awaiting arraignment on serious charges tied to the December 2022 disappearance of Gretchen Fleming — including first-degree murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and disposal of a body. He waived his right to an extradition hearing and remained silent when reporters approached him. The case moves forward as authorities prepare for his court appearance and eventual transfer to a regional jail. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
