Two Colorado men were being held in a North Dakota jail on Sunday on kidnapping charges in connection with the disappearance of a Montana teacher, authorities said.

Lester Vann Waters, 47, and Michael Keith Spell, 22, of Parachute, Colo., were detained after a tip to a hotline set up by authorities, police said. They are charged with aggravated kidnapping.

The pair was being held in a county jail about 45 minutes away from Sidney, Montana, where high school math instructor Sherry Arnold disappeared more than a week ago near her home.

The town's mayor and Arnold's husband said her body has not been recovered, but police have said they believe she is dead.

SIDNEY, Mont. (AP) - The FBI is asking property owners in parts of North Dakota and Montana to check vacant farmsteads for signs of disturbed soil where the agency says a missing Montana teacher might be buried.

Prison records in Florida show Waters ^ has a criminal history in that state and has served prison time. Florida records show Waters has felony convictions for driving without a valid license and leaving the scene of an injury crash. He also served time for a weapons offense, and records show he has used numerous aliases.

Waters was released from a minimum-security corrections facility in August 2010, after serving about 18 months. He also was incarcerated between September 2002 and December 2003, and again between August 2007 and March 2008.

Court records show Spell was arrested in Colorado in May 2007 on state charges of drug possession, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and sexual contact without consent -- but the charges were dropped five months later. The records do not say why the charges were dismissed.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Friends of missing woman Michelle Parker were on hand at the Orange County Courthouse Thursday as Dale Smith, Parker’s ex-finance, saw a judge about ceasing child support payments to her.

Parker vanished a week before Thanksgiving, and authorities said that Smith is the prime suspect in her disappearance.

Money had been coming out of Smith’s check automatically as child support for the couple's twins, and his attorney told the judge that needed to stop.

"Dale's not a wealthy man, it’s important that all funds available go toward supporting those children," Stanley Silver, Smith’s attorney, said.

The judge agreed that since Parker is missing, and Smith has custody, an automatic deduction seemed impractical.

The decision could change if Smith’s situation changes.

"Upon Michelle's reappearance, without any further court order, without any other hearing, the court can reinstate child support immediately," Silver said.

Dale Smith didn’t personally attend his hearing, which proved disappointing for a friend of Michelle Parker’s, who had questions for him.

"Why won't he take a lie detector test? If he's so innocent, why won't he take a lie detector test? What's the big deal? What does he have to hide?" Karlyn Moody said.

She says this whole ordeal has her emotionally drained.

"The trauma those kids are going through, right now--- not having their mother," Moody said. "I do wish Dale would fess up and tell us where Michelle is."

Parker's whereabouts remain a mystery.

There is a search going on right now:


Orlando Sentinel: Divers this morning are searching a body of water near South Orange Blossom Trail for clues in the missing-person case of Michelle Parker, who vanished in November.

The Orlando Police Department received a credible tip that has led them to believe evidence in the case may be located in a small lake located behind a shuttered nightclub near Orange Blossom Trail, police said.

Parker has been missing since Nov. 17, when she dropped off her twin toddlers with their father, Dale Smith II, at his home in east Orlando. Her iPhone last pinged around 8 p.m. that day near Oakridge Road and Orange Avenue. Divers found it under the Nela Bridge in Belle Isle a few weeks later.

Smith was named the primary suspect in the case, but has not been charged with any crime. He told police he went to his parents Rose Avenue home shortly after Parker dropped off the twins.

Detectives have searched his home and his parents' home since Parker disappeared.

Parker, 34, disappeared the same day a pre-taped episode of "The People's Court" aired in which Parker and Smith argued about a $5,000 engagement ring that got lost after she threw it at him during a fight. In May, Smith sued Parker in civil court, about the time the episode was taped.

Parker's family arrived at the search site a few minutes ago and was briefed by law enforcement.

"We have been waiting for clues and tips to see if we can find her," Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart said. "It's a double-edge sword. But if she is here, I hope we find her."

Recent weeks have been increasingly harder for the family, Stewart said. She has not been allowed to see her 3-year-old twin grandchildren for the past three weeks, despite having a visitation arrangement.

The children have been living with their father since their mother disappeared.

Stewart said when she last saw the children they appeared to be healthy.

She worries about what Smith may be telling the children about her family. They had been raised by their mother and her family since they were two weeks old, Stewart said.

re: post 345. Sherry Arnold. her body has still not been found.

SIDNEY Montana- Detailed court documents have been released in the abduction and murder of Sidney teacher Sherry Arnold.

The documents reveal that Michael Spell, 22, confessed to investigating agents that he and Lester Waters Jr., 47, abducted Sherry Arnold while she was jogging and killed her.

According to Spell confession, Waters was smoking crack cocaine on the morning of Saturday, January 7. The same morning Arnold, 43, went missing after an early morning run.

Spell told authorities Waters told him crack cocaine brought "the devil" out in him and he (Waters) was capable of doing anything while using crack cocaine. Spell said that Waters then began talking about kidnapping and killing a female.

According to the documents, Spell said Waters was driving through a town when they observed a female running along the road. Spell said Waters told him to grab the lady and pull her into the Explorer as she jogged by. When Spell forced her into the vehicle, Spell said the female struggled and her shoe fell off.

Spell said Waters got into the back seat with the female and "choked her out."

According to the report, Spell advised that Waters said he would kill Spell and his family if Spell ever told anyone what happened.

Spell confessed that the two men then apparently threw Arnold's clothing in a dumpster at Lonnie's Truck Stop across the street from Walmart in Williston.

Spell said he and Waters drove to a rural area outside of Williston and dropped off Sherry Arnold's body. The two then returned to Williston and purchased a shovel at Walmart. The two returned to the female's body, and Spell said Waters made him dig a hole two or three feet deep, and then they placed the her body in the hole. Spell said the grave site was at the end of a shelter belt on an old farmstead in a rural, isolated area outside of Williston.

Evidence collected has been submitted to the federal crime lab for testing. Authorities are continuing to search for Sherry Arnold's body.

BILLINGS, Mont. — Authorities said Wednesday they believe a body found outside Williston, N.D., is that of a missing Sidney, Mont., high school math teacher who disappeared Jan. 7 during a morning run.

Sidney Assistant Police Chief Robert Burnison said the body, likely that of Sherry Arnold, is being sent to the state medical lab in Missoula for further identification.

Authorities told The Associated Press the body had been buried. The recovery effort started Tuesday in western North Dakota about 50 miles from Sidney, and the body was found early Wednesday, authorities said.

It's still not clear what led them to that location.

The location of the body across the state line from where the alleged kidnapping occurred means there could be federal charges against the two suspects in the case, Michael Keith Spell, 22, and Lester Van Waters Jr., 47, both of Parachute, Colo.

Federal Death Penalty should be in store for those two animals, but they probably gave up the location of the body to take the DP off the table.

First, Barbara Scott told relatives her husband left their Polk County home and went to Oklahoma to visit a sick friend.

Then, when friends from Oklahoma called to speak to Benny Scott, Barbara told them a different story — Benny had a throat problem and couldn't speak on the phone.

In reality, her 77-year-old husband was buried in the back yard of their Lake Alfred home under a garden of herbs.

His hands and legs were bound by ropes. He was shot in the back of his head.

On Tuesday, 66-year-old Barbara Scott — an ex-convict who served time for embezzlement in Oklahoma — was taken into custody and booked into the Polk County Jail after a grand jury indicted her on a charge of first-degree murder.

The bullet recovered from his skull was consistent with a .22-caliber projectile.

Detectives found a .22-caliber revolver and a box of .22 caliber ammunition in her dresser drawer.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office said Scott told detectives and relatives various stories about what happened to her husband.

At one point, she said Benny fell in the shower in January, hit his head and died. Later, she said she found him on the shower floor with a gun nearby and she assumed he killed himself.

Detectives later found a witness who said Barbara "expressed distain'' about having to care for her husband.

"Ms. Scott related she was also tired of Benny always wanting and needing her assistance," the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a report.

The couple moved to Florida from Oklahoma sometime around 2009. Barbara was arrested in Oklahoma in 1987 on embezzlement charges. She was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.

Barbara's daughter confronted her mother about her father's whereabouts late last month. They went to the Lake Alfred Police Department on March 26 and Barbara said she buried her husband. His body was unearthed the next day.

Jordan Brown, now 14, was found delinquent by Judge John Hodge in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania - the juvenile court equivalent of a guilty verdict. He had been accused of killing his father's girlfriend and her unborn son before leaving for school. The verdict means Brown could remain in juvenile court custody until he's 21.

A 15-year-old girl was brutally stabbed to death and her body dumped in a creek about one mile from her home.

Chelsea Johnson, from Fairfield, Ohio, was last seen leaving her home on Sunday morning to go to a local store.

Her body was found on Monday evening around 6pm by a passerby who made a frantic call to police.

The Butler County Coroner's Office performed an autopsy on Tuesday and ruled her death a homicide by stabbing.

The hunt is now on for her murderer but police are releasing few details on the case and will not say if it was a random attack or if the teen knew her killer, according to WCPO.com.
