PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A judge has denied the request for a change of venue in the trial of a man accused of killing a Utah County teen.
Judge Lynn Davis said Wednesday that Timmy Brent Olsen's request was seriously considered. He said his written ruling will be complete within 10 days.
Olsen and another man, Christopher Neal Jeppson, are charged with the murder of Kiplyn Davis, who disappeared from Spanish Fork High School in May 1995. Her body has never been found.
Olsen's attorney, Jeremy Delicino, had argued that the trial could not have a fair jury pool in Utah County. Delicino says he will appeal the ruling.
The judge has not ruled on a change of venue request by Jeppson.
Olsen's trial is set to start April 6, 2009.
