Prosecutors today expect to arraign a man
for the murder of a University of Oklahoma ballet dancer from
Benton eight years ago.
Twenty-five-year-old Anthony C. Sanchez is already in custody on
unrelated charges. Prosecutors say his DNA matches the DNA in
semen left by Jewell "Juli" Busken`s killer.
His former residence in Norman is one mile from where Busken was
abducted. Mary Jean Busken, Juli Busken`s mother, said she wants
the person responsible for her daughter`s death to be isolated and
unable to hurt anyone else.
The Benton woman thanked law enforcement officers for not giving
up on the case and thanked Oklahoma and Arkansas residents for
praying for the family.
Busken had just finished her last semester at OU when she was
abducted December 20th, 1996. She was 21.
