JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Attorney General's office says that a man has been sentenced to ten years in prison for his role in the death of Karla Delcour in 1987. Kirby King pled guilty to manslaughter and felonious restraint in June. He was initially charged with second-degree murder.“As Attorney General, I want to send the message that my office will persist in obtaining justice for victims, no matter how much time has elapsed since the crime was committed,” stated Attorney General Bailey. “I’m proud of the work my Cold Case Unit did in partnership with the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney in this case to do just that.” Almanacs predict cold, wet winter — but can you trust them? Karla Jane Delcour was found dead with her wrists and neck bound by a cord in the woods near St. Clair. King's social circles overlapped with Delcour. He was questioned in 1987 after her body was found but never charged.Investigators believe Delcour was killed at a home in the city of Union o...

Xcel Energy was at least partly to blame for the length of the Marshall fire investigation and the amount of time the community spent waiting for answers, the Boulder County sheriff said.Sheriff Curtis Johnson, a leading official in the months-long investigation into the origin of the Marshall fire, told the Daily Camera the energy utility was slow to respond to requests for key information. The investigation found that the Marshall fire was caused, in part, by a disconnected Xcel power line.According to Johnson, there had been requests for information from Xcel early in the investigation, but the company did not respond until late last year or early this year, about a year after the requests were made.“That really slowed down the investigation,” Johnson said. “We couldn’t complete the work until we had access to documents we had requested (and) opportunities to interview Xcel employees, which we had made requests to do — all of that took a lot more time than it needed to.”Joh...
