P.M. UPDATE: POLICE in Pennsylvania have charged a 24-year-old man with first-degree murder in the sickening sex slaying of 9-year-old Skylar Kauffman. Sources say James Lee Troutman, a neighbor, confessed to the murder. The little girl went missing Monday and her body was found around midnight, wrapped in a blanket and dumped in a trash bin. She had been sexually abused and strangled. Police sources say Troutman wasn't very hard to find: he was in the vicinity and had blood on his shoes.Police Chief James P. O'Leary said cops interviewed the man and felt something was amiss. They questioned him again, which is when they allegedly spotted the blood.
"Each time they noticed something more and more alarming about his conduct and his response to the questions," Leary said. "… As they interviewed him, they noticed some blood on his person. And we have been able to gather some physical evidence that has linked him to the crime."
