A murder suspect in the case of Leonna Wright was denied bond today.

One-year-old Wright went missing from her home in missing from Pendleton in 2015.

Her mother's boyfriend at the time, Travis Jones, has been charged in the child's death.

This morning a judge denied bond for Jones, who is charged with murder/homicide by child abuse.

Jones and his brother, Donnie Jones, were arrested and charged in July; Donnie is charged with destruction/desecration of human remains.

Due to back up in the courts from COVID-19, it is expected Travis Jones' trial may be a year or more away.
