Terri-Lynn McClintic, 19, earlier waived her right to a preliminary hearing to allow the case to go directly to trial.

A judicial pretrial, a private meeting between the Crown, defence and the judge, will be held before McClintic's next appearance on the 16th.

McClintic's co-accused, Michael Rafferty, appeared in court last month via video link and was ordered remanded in custody until April 23. Both are charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of the eight-year-old girl.

Tori disappeared from outside her Woodstock school last April; her remains were found in July, north of Guelph, Ont.
