After two juries failed to reach a verdict, Jessica Chambers' accused killer now awaits trial on an unrelated murder charge in another state

Yet the apparent disconnect over the name loomed large after Tellis was charged with her murder. If Chambers had indeed named her assailant — as Tellis’ defense attorney, Darla Palmer, argued during his first trial — then Tellis could not have been involved, since no one knew him as “Eric” or “Derek.”

Jurors in that first 2017 trial could not reach a decision on his guilt or innocence — an outcome repeated again in 2018 when the second jury, again convened by Judge Gerald Chatham, said it, too, was stuck.The two mistrials leave the door open for a third attempt to try Tellis for Chambers’ murder, if Champion decides to go forward.

He says he has told Chambers’ family that the outcome in Louisiana likely will dictate his next move. “I mean, he’s as dangerous a criminal as I’ve ever dealt with,” Champion said, reports Jackson, Mississippi, TV news stationHe tells PEOPLE: “I just left it with them that we would meet after the Louisiana trial.”
