Dale Wayne Hill suspect in murder of Stephanie Condon arrested

[Wicked Doll]

Wasn't sure whether this should go in Cold Case instead, but the arrest is new so I put it here. I'm sure her family would love to see justice done. I hope they get it. R.I.P. Stephanie. I'm glad she was found so her parents know for sure what happened to her.

ROSEBURG, Ore. (March 25) - Authorities in Nevada say they're holding a suspect in the death of a 14-year-old southern Oregon girl who disappeared about 10 years ago while baby-sitting a cousin's twins.
Lyon County sheriff's Lt. Rob Hall says Dale Wayne Hill was arrested Wednesday on a charge of failing to register as a felon. A background check revealed the alleged error after investigators from Douglas County sought assistance.

Authorities announced Wednesday that remains found in Southern Oregon earlier this month have been identified as those of the 14-year-old Stephanie Condon. The teen vanished while babysitting a cousin's twins on Oct. 31, 1998, leading to a nationwide search.

Authorities say Hill was a suspect at the time Stephanie Condon was reported missing on Oct. 31, 1998. Her remains were found March 13 by a man walking his dogs on a logging road.

Authorities announced at a press conference earlier Wednesday that the remains were Condon's.

A massive search and hundreds of clues poured into investigators at the time of her disappearance to no avail.

I'm sure her family would love to see justice done. I hope they get it. R.I.P. Stephanie. I'm glad she was found so her parents know for sure what happened to her.

From article linked above:

"Now, it's really about finding justice for Stephanie," said her father, Marty Condon, as he held back tears at Hanlin's news conference.

I can't imagine their heartache. Hopefully this will give the family some closure.

The prime suspect in the murder of Stephanie Condon will fight extradition back to Oregon.

Earlier this week, 39-year-old Dale Wayne Hill was indicted on aggravated murder charges in the death of the 14-year-old Riddle girl. Hill is being held in a Nevada jail where he served time on an unrelated charge.

Authorities say Hill will not waive extradition from Nevada to Oregon. That means the Douglas County Sheriff's Office will have to obtain a governor's warrant to bring Hill back to Oregon. There is no set time for the extradition process. It could take weeks or longer.

For years, Hill has been considered the only suspect in the girl’s death. Stephanie Condon disappeared while babysitting in October 1998. Her remains were found last month in Glide near the home of Hill's parents. Dale Hill denies any involvement in Condon's disappearance.

Change of venue hearing begins in Stephanie Condon murder trial
ROSEBURG, Ore. (KMTR) – A change of venue hearing has begun for a Myrtle Creek man accused in the disappearance and murder of a Douglas County teenage girl.
40-year-old Dale Wayne Hill appeared in Douglas County Court Monday, September 20th, 2010. Hill is charged with aggravated murder and kidnapping.

A Riddle native, Stephanie Condon disappeared on October 30th, 1998 from a family member’s home in Tri-City, Oregon. Condon was 18-years-old.

In March 2009, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced it found Condon’s remains off a remote logging road near Glide, Oregon.

Hill was arrested in Nevada shortly afterwards, then extradited to Oregon in July 2009. Hill has been in the Douglas County Jail since then, awaiting trial.

Hill’s attorneys are asking for the case to be tried outside of Douglas County because of concerns about getting a fair trial. A Josephine County judge is presiding over the change of venue hearing.

At Monday’s hearing, several current and former law enforcement officers testified about evidence surrounding Hill before and after Condon’s disappearance.

She was 13, not 18. The editors of some newspapers today suck.

Stephanie Condon's father dead from gunshot wound

ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) -- Douglas County authorities say the father of a teenage victim in a killing 14 years ago has died of a gunshot wound at his house.

The sheriff's office said in a statement Friday that that 53-year-old Martin Condon died after officers arrived at his house near Canyonville late Wednesday.

The statement said his wife, Christine, had told dispatchers he'd shot himself, but the statement didn't elaborate.

A call to the sheriff's office was not immediately returned. He was the father of Stephanie Condon, who vanished in 1998 at age 14 from a home where she was babysitting.

Her remains were found in 2009, and the prime suspect in her death was acquitted last year
