Lovings appear in court to face charges in connection with death of 5-year-old Izabella

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Nicholas and Andrea Loving appeared in court once again on Wednesday to face charges in connection with the death of 5-year-old Izabella Loving.

Both are charged with the murder of Izabella, who was found dead in their Cold Springs home in April of 2025.

During the hearing, the defense for Andrea argued significant pieces of discovery were missing, including CPS/police reports and cell phone downloads.

In an email to KOLO 8 News Now, the Washoe County DA’s Office says the defense also admitted to not reaching out to their office to request additional discovery. They also say that, during the hearing, the state shared that they have shared all discovery to the best of their knowledge

The judge asked that both parties meet and confer, and that they are complying with discovery rules.

Her defense further argued that Andrea appearing as a DERT transport was prejudicial, especially given the high-profile nature of the case.

A motion hearing has been set for Dec. 16.

The Washoe County DA’s Office is pursuing the death penalty against Nicholas Loving.

Their trial has been set for August of next year.
