The trial of accused murderer Raymond “Chuck” Foster’s has been continued again.

The alleged imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan was set to appear before state Judge Peter Garcia on second-degree murder charges Wednesday.

However, Rick Wood, spokesman for District Attorney Walter Reed, said the case has been continued again as the state and defense continues to work on their cases. He said typically murder cases take a long time to put together and come to trial, and he did not foresee this one being ready until sometime in the spring at the earliest.

A new trail date has been set for April 5.

Foster has been charged with the murder of an Oklahoma woman, Cynthia Lynch, whom detectives believe was shot at a campsite in Sun after she tried to back out of a KKK initiation exercise.

Lynch reportedly traveled to the area by bus from Tulsa, Okla., in November 2008 to join the Sons of Dixie Brotherhood chapter of the KKK.

Authorities believe she was undergoing an initiation ceremony at a remote campsite when she backed out at the last minute and was shot.

Raymond “Chuck” Foster’s son, Shane Foster, has been charged with obstruction of justice for his role in the crime.

He is set to go to trial in Feb. 22 in state Judge Reggie Badeaux’s courtroom.

The case was discovered when Frank Stafford and the younger Foster entered a convenience store near Bogalusa and asked the clerk how they could get rid of bloodstains from clothes. The clerk informed the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office.

The campsite where the crime was allegedly committed is in northern St. Tammany Parish so the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office took charge of the investigation.

Stafford pleaded guilty in April to an obstruction of justice charge in the same case and is currently serving four years in prison.

Danielle Jones pleaded guilty in June to accessory after the fact. She was sentenced to one year in jail.
