YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The Arizona trucker facing charges for a 1992 murder of an Austintown woman has been declared incompetent to stand trial once again.

Samuel Legg faces charges of aggravated murder, aggravated murder during the commission of a felony (rape), aggravated murder during a felony (robbery), and murder.

Legg has been undergoing treatment at the Twin Valley Behavioral Health Center for the last four months.

This the second time Legg has had a competency evaluation.

Judge John Durkin ruled Legg incompetent for now but believes one day he will be competent to stand trial.

Legg was charged in February in the 1992 murder of Sharon Lynn Kedzierski and previously pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The charge of aggravated murder carried a potential sentence of 20 years to life in prison in 1992, which is what Legg would be facing.

On April 9, 1992, the body of an unidentified white female was found near the edge of the Universal Truck Mall parking lot in Austintown, Ohio.

She had been deceased for approximately 24 hours and died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries to the head, face, and upper chest.


Officials say Kedzierski was clothed in a well-worn, short-sleeved blue shirt, men's brief-style underwear (size small), and a white tube sock with three dark blue stripes at the top.

A woman's calf-high brown leather boot (size 10) and a blue baseball cap with the logo "Lesco Truck Rental, Chattanooga, TN" was found nearby. This woman was later identified as Sharon Lynn Kedzierski, of Florida.

Officials say Kedzierski was last seen in Florida alive in 1989.

Several years later, Gains says Kedzierski's daughters reportedly submitted their DNA to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NAMUS).

Prosecutor Gains says that donation of their DNA was instrumental in identifying Kedzierski.

In 2011, a Mahoning County Coroner's Office investigator sent evidence to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations, including the DNA samples taken from Kedzierski's body.

In 2013, DNA evidence from the investigation linked to an unknown male came back related to crimes in other places as well as Kedzierski's case.


Evidence suggested a truck driver was the suspect. That truck driver was later identified as Samuel Legg, III.

Legg is also charged in connection with a 1997 rape case in Medina County.
