AG's office expected to drop Floyd murder case

The Kansas Attorney General's Office is expected to request dismissal of all first-degree murder and conspiracy charges against Chad and Shannon Floyd during a hearing Monday, a defense attorney in the case said.
The Floyds, formerly of Johnson City, were first arrested in June 2006 on allegations of murder and conspiracy in connection with the May 20, 2005, disappearance of Shannon Floyd's ex boyfriend, 27-year-old Michael Golub.
Two trials against the accused resulted in hung juries. A body has never been recovered in connection with the case, and Golub's whereabouts, if he is still alive today, are unknown.
The order of dismissal, which has been signed by both defense attorneys and prosecutors in the case, awaits the signatures of the Floyds and Judge Robert Schmisseur, according to a copy of the paperwork from Chad Floyd's defense attorney, Daniel Monnat. A motions hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Stanton County District Courthouse is planned to formalize the dismissal of charges, Monnat said.
The Attorney General's Office did not return phone messages seeking comment this morning.
The prosecution's case in the initial trial, which ended in July 2007, centered on the custody struggles between Shannon Floyd and Golub over their son, Mikey, 8.
The Floyds, who have been free on a $1 million bond each, live in Colorado and moved there in the spring of 2006, according to court documents. The Floyd family have been long-term residents of the Johnson City area for four generations.
"Chad and Shannon and their families have had to endure three years of accusations, innuendo and rumor that have been absolutely false," said Monnat, Chad Floyd's defense attorney. "They've waited more than three long years to be cleared of these accusations, and Monday's dismissal hearing can't come soon enough; they're anxious to put these trials behind them and move on with their lives."

Floyd murder
I saw this on TV. Not sure how difficult it would be to find an abandoned well in an area between the Floyd house and where the truck was found, and there must be a way to get a waterproof fiberoptic camera on a cable down them. Chances are, the Glock is down there with the body.
