(Atlantic, Iowa) – An attorney in the case of an Atlantic man facing a charge of 1st Degree Murder, requested and was granted a continuance, Thursday (Aug. 14th). Judge Margaret Jane Reyes granted the request by Attorney Monty Platz, who is with the Iowa Attorney General’s Office. Platz is the prosecuting attorney in the case against 25-year-old Corbin Michael Loudermilk, who, in addition to the First-Degree Murder charge, is also charged with Child Endangerment Resulting in Death. Both are Class-A Felonies.

The trial was scheduled to take place in Cass County District Court on September 23rd, but with the granted continuance, means it will not occur now until April 28, 2026, at 9:30-a.m.

Loudermilk has entered a plea of not guilty to both charges. The charges stem from an incident in early January, when a child under Loudermilk’s supervision was found unresponsive. Medical professionals later determined the baby allegedly died from multiple head injuries believed to be caused by impact or shaking.
