A new trial date was set to retry the convicted murderer accused of kidnapping and killing Isabel Celis, a 6-year-old girl who disappeared from her bedroom 11 years ago in Tucson. The retrial for Christopher Clements, 41, is scheduled to take place at 10:30 a.m. on September 12 at the Pima County Superior Court in Tucson, the court said during a hearing Tuesday. He faces three charges related to Isabel's death and disappearance, including first-degree murder, burglary and kidnapping a minor under 15.
