UPDATE: The anger and shock continues to grow in Spencer County as the saga surrounding the death of a local teen keeps unfolding.
Ryan Shelby made his first court appearance Thursday morning at the Spencer County Courthouse.
He is preliminarily charged with murdering his 15-year-old step daughter, Alexis Oesterle.
Lots of people showed up for what was a quick hearing.
Shelby was ordered held without bond.
He's due back in court in two weeks.
It's a situation that will be the talk of the county for a long time to come.
New details are emerging about the relationship between Oesterle and her Shelby.
But, conflicting accounts, some from friends, some from family, of what things were like between the two are creating a somewhat hazy picture.
Outside the courthouse, emotions ran high.
Friends tried to comfort each other.
Some let their emotions boil over as Shelby left the courthouse.
"Hang the G** d**m a**," shouted one man.
"We're pretty mad," said Janine Nieves, a friend of Oesterle's. "We wanted to throw things at him. But, we were told that was assault."
Shelby had no reply to reporter questions as he entered the sheriff's vehicle.
Couple that with a very quick court appearance and little new information - it all left friends continuing to wonder why.
"They didn't really get along, but I never thought it was this serious," Mandie Roll, another friend, said.
"She had a lot of difficulties with him. She absolutely hated him. I never thought he would kill her. Never," said Nieves. "I knew that she didn't like him."
Friends saw that side of things.
Oesterle's grandfather, Jeff Spong, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio tells a different tale.
"I don't know. She called him 'father.' She called her stepfather 'dad.'"
But, Spong is also well acquainted with Shelby's violent temper.
He explained an incident involving Shelby and Oesterle's mother's young child.
"The baby was laying on the bed crying. She walked in the room," said Spong. "Ryan didn't know she was there. Ryan said to the baby, 'Why don't you just shut up?' And, at that, he hit both sides of the bed where the baby was laying. The baby flew up in the air."
As far as, what triggered Shelby's temper to turn toward Oesterle, that remains a mystery.
To recap the key points of the past few days.
Oesterle's family originally reported her missing Monday night.
Sheriff's deputies found her about an hour after arriving at her house.
She died from a loss blood from a slash to her neck.
Shelby was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
