By KVAL.com staffROSEBURG, Ore. -- Dale Wayne Hill was lodged in the Douglas County Jail at 4:45 p.m. Thursday after being transported here from Lyon County, Nev. Hill is being held on suspicion of three counts of Aggravated Murder in connection with the death of Stephanie Elizabeth Condon. Hill is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:15 pm on Friday, July 10, in Douglas County Circuit Court 403. Police in Nevada arrested Dale Wayne Hill on suspicion of failing to register as a felon. The day before he was set to be released, a Douglas County grand jury indicted him on the three counts of murder.
Condon disappeared the night of Oct. 30, 1998. She was 14 years old at the time. Condon was babysitting for her cousin Cheryl Richey at Richey's home on Henry Street in Tri City the night of her disappearance. Richey returned home around 1:30 a.m. and found her twins sleeping in their beds.
Stephanie was gone. Her remains were found near a logging road in the Little River area near Glide, Ore., by a hiker who was walking his dog on Friday, March 13.
Stephanie's family launched a Web site about the case on the 9th anniversary of her disappearance. Condon's story has been featured on various national programs over the years, including an episode of the CBS show Without a Trace, as well as appearances by family members on The Early Show on CBS. A billboard on Interstate 5 sought public help solving the case. |
