The pair arrested in early February on charges they killed an elderly Madison resident have been referred to a Boone County Grand Jury for possible indictment.

On Feb. 2, Madison Police arrested Jason Ramsey, 25, and Natasha Nichole Davis, 22, on charges they robbed and murdered Eddie Ferrell, of Madison.

On Friday, the pair was finally able to obtain legal representation. Davis is being represented by Sean Bayliss, and Christopher Pritt; while Ramsey’s legal team is Todd Bayliss, and David Pence. All four are Charleston-based attorneys.

Friday’s preliminary hearing, which is intended to present evidence of a crime in order to justify sending the case to the grand jury, began late due to a crucial state’s witness being snowed in four hours away.

Magistrate Porter Snodgrass decided to go forward with the hearing anyway, as numerous other witnesses, along with several investigating officers were on hand.

The hearing began with testimony from the housekeeper, who outlined the events that led up to police discovering Ed Ferrell’s body. Ramsey’s attorneys peppered the woman with questions, some of which became quite personal.

The next witness to appear was Cpl. Shultz, who spoke about finding Ferrell “lying in the closet, with a pillow over his face.” Shultz then called for assistance and a team of sheriff’s deputies, state troopers and other city officers arrived on the scene. Other investigators outlined the evidence collected at the scene and how officers were finally led to believe Jason Ramsey, and Natasha Davis, were responsible for Ferrell’s death.

Investigators disclosed that a witness who gave the pair a ride home allegedly heard the pair discussing the murder.

At that point, Magistrate Snodgrass ruled that sufficient evidence existed to send the case to the grand jury for possible indictment. If indicted and convicted, the pair could face a possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
