Ex-Candidate for Idaho Governor(R)Is Person of Interest in 1984 Cold Case Killing of Girl, 12
On September 4, authorities served a search warrant at the Twin Falls, Idaho, home of Steve Pankey, who ran for governor in 2014 on the Constitution Party line and ran again in 2018 in an attempt to gain the Republican nomination.
The warrant, obtained by the Idaho Statesman, indicates investigators are looking at Pankey as possibly being connected to the kidnapping and murder of Jonelle Matthews, who was 12 when she vanished from Greeley, Colorado, back in 1984.
Her body wasn’t found until this past July, by a construction crew unearthing ground as part of a pipeline installation.
The Denver Post reports that Pankey lived two miles from where the girl disappeared.
