The case against the parolee charged in connection with the death of 83-year-old Dr. Seth Thompson of Midland has been bound over to the Eaton County Circuit Court. Charges of open murder, receiving and concealing a stolen firearm and first-degree home invasion against Patrick Alan Vercruysse, 44, were bound over after an Eaton County District Court judge found there is probable cause to believe a crime was committed and that Vercruysse committed it. An additional charge of unlawfully driving away an automobile has been dismissed by prosecutors. Vercruysse appeared for the second part of the preliminary hearing on Wednesday, during which a medical examiner testified that Thompson, a retired oral surgeon, died of strangulation and asphyxiation, said Thompson's son, David Thompson. The first part of the preliminary hearing was conducted in November, with testimony from law enforcement officials.
