OUTRAGE! CHILD KILLER JOHN ATHAN WALKS FREE
A MONSTER nabbed after 20 years for the murder of Kristen Sumstad, 13, has walked out of jail free thanks to a loophole. Dedicated Seattle cold case detectives arrested John Athan 20 years after the 1982 murder by tricking him into licking an envelope. DNA sealed the deal for the monster.
But wait...the judge sentenced Athan to a laughable 10 years in jail. He has served ONLY seven years in jail. Kristen's best friend Kim Alguard said: "I don't know anybody in the community or who knew Kristen that thinks seven years is fair. But we did what we could."
The nutjobs on the parole board said:"Mr. Athan has

COPS HOPE DNA IDs 1969 JANE DOE MURDER VICTIM
COPS IN Washington State have exhumed the remains of a woman found murdered in 1969 in the hope her DNA could crack two cold cases. King County detectives say the bodies of two women were found on a rural road. On June 5, 1969, Jane Doe's decomposed body was found off a dirt road a mile west of the Tolt River Bridge in east King County. Cops named the unidentified murder victim “Tolt Hill Jane Doe.”
A portion of a skull from a second victim--a young adult female--was found in 2006 about three blocks from where Jane Doe's lifeless body was found. The second victim has also never been identified. Now, cold case cops suspect the two slayings may be linked.
Sgt. John Urquhart said: “They hope to first find out who the person was, then find her killer."
