Scott County Circuit Court scheduled the Kentucky case for May 17-28 next year, nearly seven years after Arnett's 2019 death.
Crawley was indicted earlier this year on murder, kidnapping and evidence tampering charges, pleading not guilty to the first two after earlier guilty pleas to evidence tampering and abuse of a corpse.
Court documents say Arnett's body was hidden under Crawley's trailer before being dumped in Madison County; four others, including cousin Ronald Crawley, were also charged with helping kidnap her.
