 A former Idaho political candidate has been charged with the kidnapping and murder of a young girl, who vanished in 1984 and whose remains were found last year.

According to the indictment, Pankey lived about two miles from Jonelle's home at the time of her disappearance and about 10 miles north of where her body was found decades later.

The court document also said Pankey "watched school children walk home from" the middle school the victim attended and said he owned a gun the year she disappeared.

The indictment also states Pankey was in contact with authorities following Jonelle's disappearance, and "intentionally inserted himself in the investigation many times over the years claiming to have knowledge of the crime which grew inconsistent and incriminating over time."

Pankey also searched for information on Jonelle's death in newspapers as well as on the radio and internet, the indictment said.

Another arrest has been made thanks to genetic genealogy: 

On Saturday, Unified Police arrested 29-year-old Adam Antonio Spencer Durborow of Orem in connection with the murder of Sherry Black, who was beaten and stabbed to death on Nov. 30, 2010 in South Salt Lake.

Durborow was arrested on aggravated murder and aggravated burglary charges, both first-degree felonies. He is being held without bail.

According to a probable cause for arrest statement, DNA was collected from Durborow on Wednesday, and it came back Thursday as a match to DNA evidence collected from the murder scene — B&W Billiards & Books, which the victim and her husband owned.

The New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch, tried to smear Joe Biden, and it wound up with egg on its face.

Too bad the GOP's hero lost out on the Nobel Peace Prize which instead favored an organization which Hunter Biden has been on the board.
