LANCASTER — Dustin Mark Duren will remain in a county jail, held without bail on a charge of second-degree murder, a charge that launched a March 1 Amber Alert to find the two young daughters born by the woman he allegedly killed on the evening of Feb. 29.
His next court hearing is in Berlin District Court on March 13.
