LYNDON–An Osage County District Judge has denied a motion to dismiss Capital Murder charges against James Kraig Kahler. Kahler is charged with killing his wife Karen Kahler, his daughters, Emily and Lauren, and Karen Kahler’s grandmother Dorothy Wight. All were shot in Wight’s Burlingame home last November. An attorney for Kahler had filed a motion to dismiss because he said investigators improperly seized and reviewed privileged attorney-client communications, violating Kahler’s constitutional rights and tainting the case. The judge ordered the case to proceed to a preliminary hearing, which is set for August 19.
