The Harris County Sheriff's Office says the suspected serial killer's stay has been generally uneventful. Although, he length of his stay is extraordinary.
HOUSTON, Texas -- A suspected serial killer is finally slated to stand trial after more than a decade in Harris County jail.
"I've been doing this for 30 years. I've never seen anyone in for over a decade," said Crime Stoppers' Director of Victim Services Andy Kahan. "Steven Hobbs has been a predator. He has been a predator for at least a decade. So now, we're looking at everything just to see if he fits," explained then-HCSO Homicide Unit Lt. Rolf Nelson in 2011.
Deputies said Hobbs, a security guard commissioned to carry a gun, preyed on sex workers in the Crosby, Highlands, and Barrett Station in areas of east Harris County. They said he used a gun, baton, handcuffs, his towering height and weight to attack. Hobbs was set to stand trial in 2015, but new DNA testing put it on hold. By the time the case was ready to go again, Hurricane Harvey hit causing the courthouse to shut down for years and the COVID-19 pandemic added to the delay.The Harris County District Attorney's office is now moving at a fast pace in the Sanford case, filing a number of motions this week. A pre-trial hearing on the admittance of Hobbs' statement is schedule for April 6. Trial is set for May.
