Missing Case Update: Dawan Ferguson Murder Trial
St. Louis County Assistant Prosecutor John Schlesinger tried to Dawan using his son's disappearance as a cover-up for his death during his opening statement.
The prosecution called its first few witnesses, his mother, Thomas, who spoke about the last time she saw her son during a scheduled visitation in March 2003.
A licensed practical nurse who worked with Christian took the stand Monday and reported the conditions to her agency but never reported anything to the Police because she was afraid of Dawan. Later, the nurse explained that he was intimidating and she did not want to put anyone at risk.
Defense: You kept asking, then, Connor repeatedly about what happened the day Christian went missing?
Theda: Yes
Defense asks Theda if she's recorded conversations of her and Connor talking about Christian's disappearance. Theda says yes.
Dawan called the Police after 6:05 a.m. to report the carjacking and his missing son on the day of the accident. Police found the vehicle, a maroon 1999 Ford Expedition, at 7:50 a.m. on Ronbar Lane.
What's Happened To Christian Ferguson?
As per propaganda, a probable cause statement stated Dawan Ferguson failed to provide Christian the proper medication and nutrition for more than two years.
Prior to leaving home with the child on June 11, 2003, around 6:07 a.m., the suspect reported someone had carjacked his running vehicle while his son was inside.
As per reports, the court documents allege he would have died within 48 hours without proper medication. Since Christian Ferguson's body has never been found, he is presumed dead.
Dawan Ferguson remains jailed on a $5 million bond and charged with statutory rape and child molestation in another case until a further hearing in August.
