Kylr Yust pleads not guilty to murdering Jessica Runions, Kara Kopetsky in Cass County Court in Harrisonville, Missouri this afternoon.

The court entered not guilty pleas on all four charges and appointed a public defender from St. Louis County for Mr. Yust due to conflict of interest. His next hearing date is set for December 28th, 2017.

Mr. Yust will remain in custody on a 1 million dollar bond. In April, a mushroom hunter found human remains in a wooded area south of Belton.

Runions' remains were identified quickly but Kopetsky's remains weren't positively identified until August. Yust was already jailed on a charge that he burned Runions' car.
