Prosecutors are to take another look at the
case against a woman charged with kidnapping in the disappearance
of a seven-year-old who has now been found dead.
Patricia Ann Miles vanished Sunday. She was found dead Thursday
at the edge of a bean field in northeastern Arkansas, not far from
where her pink bicycle and shoes were found days earlier.
The field is about five miles from Patricia`s hometown of
Gilmore and had previously been searched. Police say the body had
been in the field for days.
Family friend Jo Ann Buchanan was arrested on a kidnapping
charge Monday. Buchanan is being held in the Crittenden County jail
in Marion on a one million dollar bond. Her family insists she
is innocent.
Witnesses have said they saw the girl get into a van with
Buchanan Sunday morning and later saw Buchanan take the girl`s
bicycle from the van in a rural area north of Gilmore.
Buchanan didn`t cooperate with police.
