Jury Selection Begins In Greene Co. Girl's Death

WAYNESBURG (KDKA) ― Jury selection for a man accused of raping and killing a 12-year-old girl in Greene County continues today in court.

Jeffrey Martin, 50, is accused in the murder of Gabrielle Bechen.

Martin could face the death penalty if convicted of sexually assaulting and strangling Bechen back in June 2006.

Bechen was missing for five days and her body was discovered buried in a 6-foot grave on a horse farm near Waynesburg.

Martin's trial is expected to begin Wednesday, after the rest of the jury is seated.
