A Quad Cities area woman charged in a rural Sherrard drug-induced death investigation is having her case continued to August.
The Aug. 17 pre-trial conference was set for 54-year-old Susan McFalls of Colona, who appeared in Mercer County Circuit Court on Monday.
McFalls is charged with first-degree murder and a Class X felony of drug-induced homicide via accountability stemming from the death of Anthony Qualls of rural Sherrard in December 2023.
She was granted pre-trial release in May 2024.
A co-defendant in the case, 43-year-old William DeWitt of Milan, is also facing first-degree murder and drug-induced homicide charges. He was released from custody in January and is scheduled to return to court on August 10.
Both have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
