She disappeared 35 years ago – but police just found her remains (via toofab)
Steve Pankey lived two miles away from Jonelle Matthews when she disappeared after returning home from performing in a school Christmas concert.
68-year-old Steve Pankey said authorities searched his house last week as they believe he is a "person of interest" in the kidnapping and murder of Jonelle Matthews during an interview withPankey and his former wife lived two miles away from Matthews when she disappeared on December 20, 1984 after returning home from performing in a school Christmas concert.According to Pankey, SWAT teams seized his "electronic devices and financial documents" during the search.
Pankey claimed he was home with his then-wife on the night Matthews vanished. He said he left the next morning to visit family in California and returned to Colorado on Dec. 26, 1984 where he first heard the news of a missing child on the radio. He did, however, report something suspicious to the FBI shortly afterwards -- that his father-in-law, who worked at a cemetery, had told him about someone asking about how to get rid of a body.Pankey had a theory about why police were focusing their inquiries on him: in a startling revelation, he told Idaho Statesman that he had several "brushes with the law" before Matthews went missing.
