A former longshot Idaho gubernatorial candidate on trial in the 1984 killing of a 12-year-old Colorado girl has testified that he did not know the girl or her family before she vanished and denied being involved in her disappearance.
At the time, Steve Pankey was a neighbour of Jonelle Matthews and her family in Greeley, Colo., a city about 50 miles north of Denver. The girl's remains were found by oil and gas workers in 2019. She had been fatally shot.
Most of his testimony on Thursday to questions by his lawyer was rambling and included comments about his hatred of racist police officers and of being bullied for being bisexual. Pankey contacted the Idaho Statesman newspaper to tell his side of the story after he became a person of interest.
