(Cedar Rapids – KCRG) -- Casey Frederiksen will remain in the Linn County jail until his trial.
A grand jury indicted Frederiksen last week on a child pornography charge.
Frederiksen is engaged to noel miller, the mother of five-year-old Floyd County murder victim, Evelyn Miller.
Prosecutors at Monday's Federal Court hearing revealed shocking new details about Frederiksen.
When Frederiksen walked into the courtroom he was surrounded by his parents, his sister and his fiancé, Noel Miller.
He appeared to be in good spirits, even whispering, "I love you" to his fiancé but the mood changed when the prosecutor started talking.
The prosecutor said investigators found more than one-thousand images of child pornography on Frederiksen's computer.
In addition to those pictures, Frederiksen also had a large number of child pornography movies on his computer too.
In fact, the prosecutor said it was the largest amount of child porn movies he'd seen on a computer in his career.
Plus, at the age of 13, Frederiksen admitted to a Charles City police officer that he sexually molested a child.
The prosecutor also mentioned Frederiksen's suicide attempt on September 21st.
During that suicide attempt, Frederiksen drew a knife on police officers trying to help him and then said he had another knife in his pocket.
The prosecutor said that type of behavior makes Frederiksen a threat.
Finally, prosecutors mentioned Frederiksen was the last person to see Evelyn alive.
The prosecutor said Evelyn was under Frederiksen's care and then ended up dead.
Noel Miller had tears in her eyes after the judge ruled Frederiksen must be detained.
She left the courthouse with Frederiksen's father and did not say anything.
Frederiksen's mother also left the courthouse without giving a comment.
Then, Frederiksen left the courthouse and returned back to the Linn County Jail.
His next scheduled court appearance is on December 5th.
Prosecutors have not charged anyone in connection with Evelyn Miller's murder.

Strange as it may seem, we still don't see CF as a major player in Evey's death. My guess about separating him from NM is that LE will be able to concentrate on her story and develop this information in more detail. She will have to testify if called because they were not married will not be protected from examination. Her responses will be telling in this case.

Of course I believe that NM knew about the information on the drive but wanted to stop the investigation in its tracks and may have wanted to have been arrested also so that she could also have protection of a defense lawyer and would not have had to testify against herself. I don't think that she has that protection now.

I am not a lawyer so I would appreciate real legal answers to these comments. Also, if the drives contained images of Evey, why didn't she copy them to a CD or send them to a photo sharing service? Why didn't she or he destroy the drive? They had the opportunity to have done so. Why did LE need a warrant to search the apartment immediately after the Evey was reported missing? Who also worked with NM and could collusion have played a part in her alibi of having been at work all night. Has LE gotten a compete list of contacts, visitors and friends who may be involved in, have knowledge of or who are hindering the investigation? Have any friends heard reports of threats against the family? We still don't know who the suspected player(s) were in this awful crime but hopefully additional information will be developed to find out as Evey continues to fly with the angels.
