(Radio Iowa) – A Davenport man has been charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl who disappeared from Moline, Illinois, in 1996. A grand jury in Henry County, Illinois approved three counts of first-degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death against Jamison Fisher in the death of Trudy Appleby.
Fisher was already being held at the Scott County jail in Davenport on what police say are unrelated charges. Fisher is believed to have been a family friend of a different suspect who died in 2014. Police say they have not yet recovered Appleby’s remains and the investigation is ongoing.
