This looks like it’s going to become a federal case (I’m guessing) because he took her across state line.

It should become a Federal case under the circumstances.
I would prefer a federal court for this crime.

me too! I’m praying that “someone” will upgrade it.

I completely believe, and am thinking we should push for a amber alert system for 18-24 yr olds, but with some differences. IE:”Missing under extremely/highly suspicious circumstances, such as abandoned car/purse etc..” Anything to limit false alarms and to increase police/media help, while reducing the stress of the family/volunteers who currently have to be the ones to bear the weight of making the missing person “be in the headlines” so to speak. They have enough to deal with...

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline said Thursday he would consider seeking the death penalty against a man charged in the kidnap and murder of a teenager whose body was found three days after she was abducted from a Target store parking lot.

Kline said it was unclear if the case would be tried in state or federal court. But he said the death penalty would be a possibility in either jurisdiction.

“If we believe the crime is severe enough, and we do in this case, we will go to the jurisdiction that provides the most severe penalty,” Kline said. “The discussions continue almost around the clock.”
