VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Virginia Beach man accused of stabbing his pregnant ex-wife and stepdaughter, abducting his children and leading officers on a multistate chase that ended in a child's death was indicted by a grand jury on Feb. 17, according to court documents.
Court documents say Dana Plummer will face the following charges: Malicious wounding of a pregnant victim, malicious aggravated wounding, and three counts of abduction of minor.
During a hearing on Feb. 3, Plummer waived his right to a preliminary hearing, allowing for his charges to be presented to a grand jury. This came after News 3 learned Plummer was reevaluated in December and later found competent to stand trial.
Prosecutors allege Plummer stabbed his ex-wife and stepdaughter before abducting his three children in August 2024, triggering an Amber Alert. Authorities say the case led to a chase in Fairfax County that ended with a crash in Maryland. Plummer’s 1-year-old daughter was killed in the crash.
Plummer's next court date is scheduled for March 25, according to court documents.
