 A motion filed to dismiss an indictment and to suppress evidence in the murder of a hibbing man has been denied in Itasca County Court. 35-year-old Joseph Christian Thorison and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kaleen Danielle Greninger of Grand Rapids were charged with two counts of murder in both the first and second degrees. The indictments are based on the allegations that Thorison and Greninger assaulted 20-year-old David Heyman of Hibbing at their apartment, then kidnapped and assaulted Heyman with a baseball bat, knives, and a machete, which led to Heyman's death. Greninger previously entered a guilty plea to one count of murder in the second degree and is awaiting a sentencing hearing. Thorison's next court appearance is scheduled for July 11 with a trial date set to begin August 14.
