Kansas has not executed a child-killer since 1955. it may be time.
GREAT BEND, Kan.
The Kansas Attorney General's office says a body has been found a few miles outside of Great Bend.
Eyewitness News has been told the body is not identifiable. An autopsy will be conducted at the Sedgwick County Forensic Science Center in Wichita. Positive identification is expected sometime Wednesday.
Great Bend Police Chief Dean Akings tells Eyewitness News there's limited information he can put out this early in the investigation, but he says law enforcement is now "focusing in a different direction than searching for DeBolt."
Law enforcement from Great Bend, Barton County, and the KBI are currently on the scene where the body was found.
YESTERDAY'S NEWS
she was only supposed to be gone for an hour, but police in Great Bend and the KBI are now looking for a 14-year-old girl missing for three days. Alicia DeBolt was last seen Saturday night.
Tammy Conrad says her daughter left her house with a 19-year-old man, and the two planned to go to a party. DeBolt had a midnight curfew and was supposed to meet another friend at a nearby gas station, but she never showed.
"I started calling at midnight because her curfew's midnight, and we have a system," says Conrad. "She'll text me back or she'll call me back. She didn't...and she hasn't."
Conrad says family members are growing increasingly nervous because they believe DeBolt's phone is off and no one has seen or heard from her since Saturday. She insists her daughter isn't a runaway.
"This is not like Alicia," says Conrad. "This is not a runaway. She did not run away. Somebody has my child, my baby girl. Somebody has her."
DeBolt was supposed to begin her first day of high school on Monday where family members say she was excited to begin cheerleading.
Conrad and DeBolt's sister went to the KBI's Great Bend headquarters Tuesday afternoon to establish a timeline of where DeBolt was and what she was doing when she disappeared.
They say the man DeBolt left with Saturday night was a friend. Law enforcement says it will not comment on who might have been with DeBolt when the teen disappeared, but they say they're only looking for one missing person.
Anyone with information about where the teen might be can call 1-800-KS-CRIME.
