http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2009/dec/16/bodies-said-be-dad-daughter-20091216/Michael Palmer and his daughter, Hannah Grace Dowdie, had not been seen since Saturday. The bodies, found burned beyond recognition on dead-end Wilbern Road near Granite Mountain Quarries, were in a small GMC truck registered to Palmer, Rehrauer said.
The deaths have been ruled homicides. I wonder who did it? Oh, wait, here's another tidbit from the story:
Saline County court records show that Dowdie [the mom, who has lost custody] burned her daughter with a cigarette in April last year, then called police and said a stranger did it. When a Saline County sheriff’s deputy asked her about it, however, Dowdie confessed.
“I did it,” Dowdie told the deputy, according to th e court records. “I burned her. I need help.”
