Federal Grand Jury Returns Indictment - July 8, 2009
Lundeby, 16, of Oxford, N.C., was arrested by the FBI at his home in Oxford on March 6, 2009. A federal search warrant was also executed at that time. Lundeby was arrested pursuant to a juvenile criminal complaint filed in the Northern District of Indiana. ...The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a motion seeking to proceed against Lundeby as if he were an adult. The U.S. District Court in South Bend granted that motion and this indictment followed.
Lundeby must have agreed to waive the 30 day statutory timeline that pertains to "detention/trial" for a juvenile.
Putting the March and July releases together, one is invited to conclude that the arrest in March was pursuant to a criminal complaint, effectively a charging document. In other words, that he wasn't held without charge.
Now that he's been charged as an adult, fully named, etc., there is no privacy interest to protect in the earlier juvenile proceedings. His mother should move to obtain them (if she can't get them by simply paying the fee for obtaining copies), and if she won't, perhaps one of the interested press outlets (e.g., "Wired.com") will move to unseal the government formal charges, motions, etc. and his counsel's formal responses.
