Steven Foster Sr. was released on a property bond, according to the jail official.
UPDATE @ 12:12pm
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Investigators revealed new information during a court hearing Monday about the events leading up to a social worker's murder.

Trooper James Kirk with the West Virginia State Police testified during Rosemary Forney's preliminary hearing that she confessed to killing Brenda Yeager along with Steven Foster Jr.
According to Kirk, Forney says Foster Jr. was hiding in a closet when Yeager came into their home in Cabell County--and Forney turned up the radio to hide any noise Foster Jr. would have made.
Kirk says Foster Jr. then hit Yeager in the head with a frying pan. Both Foster Jr. and Forney expected her to black out, according to Kirk, but when she didn't, they held her at knifepoint.

Kirk testified that Foster Jr. and Forney then tied Yeager to a mattress--and while Forney went outside to clean Yeager's car and hide it, Foster Jr. sexually assaulted Yeager.
Kirk says Forney told them that she and Foster Jr. then discussed the situation, choosing between letting her go so she can call the police or killing her to solve their problems. The two chose the latter, according to Kirk, and Foster Jr. told Forney to kill Yeager.
Forney proceeded to try to suffocate Yeager, but failed, according to Kirk. Foster Jr. then also tried to suffocate her, but also didn't succeed, says Kirk.
Kirk says both Foster Jr. and Forney then simultaneously tried to suffocate Yeager, killing her.
Forney's attorney argued that his client's confession was coerced, but the magistrate didn't agree. The murder case against Forney has been bound over to the grand jury.
Foster Jr. and Foster Sr. were expected to have their hearings after Forney's, but they are expected to waive their preliminary hearings.
