Those entries for the sealed filings – but not the accompanying documents – were posted and dated April 17 on the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court website.
This morning, however, all filings in English’s case no longer appear on the website.
English was indicted last year on arson, tampering with evidence, possession of criminal tools and insurance fraud in connection to the case. Police have said they think Kinser’s death was drug-related.

Kinser was killed in his Miamisburg apartment on North First Street Dec. 30, 2018, in what was the city’s first homicide since 2011, police said.
Facing murder charges in the case are Chaz Gillilan, 31, of Coshocton County; Jason B. Churchill, 32, of Moraine; and Daniel Matthew Simone, 29, of Englewood, records show.
Gillilan was linked to the crime through DNA evidence, police have said. The judge has ordered a Dayton crime lab to turn over that evidence to Gillilan’s attorney.
