Trial Date Set For Duncan Man Charged In Teen's Death

Posted: Updated:

DUNCAN, Okla. - A trial date has been set for an Oklahoma man charged in a Duncan teen's death.

The Duncan Banner reported that Miles Sterling Bench waived his right to have a competency hearing last week.  Bench is charged in the death of 16-year-old Braylee Henry in June 2012.

Henry was reported missing on June 6 and her body was found in a secluded area near Velma.  Authorities say they arrested Bench shortly after near Weatherford.  He was there driving Henry's car.

Authorities alleged that Henry was killed after she stopped at a Velma gas station where Bench was working as a clerk.

Bench's jury trial is set for August 19 in Stephens County, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for August 7.
