Morningstar was ordered in December to undergo a five-day psychiatric assessment.

In Friday's court appearance, Morningstar was sent for the standard 30-day psychiatric assessment typically ordered by the courts.

After the judge ordered the 30-day assessment, someone sitting in the Wylie family section was heard to say, "What?"

Morningstar's next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 15, at which time the results of the psychiatric assessment are expected to be made known to the court.

Police have warned that Noel and Shephard are considered dangerous.
