Murder victim shared safety concerns on Facebook
Stephens had contended in past posts on her Facebook page that law enforcement officers and prosecutors did nothing after Ewing committed crimes that victimized her. I m trying to figure out why Shawnee County Sheriff and our county attorney will not charge my ex boyfriend with the criminal damages to property, she wrote March 23. Nor would they charge him with breaking into my home, attacking me from behind and beating me. Matter of fact, someone from district attorney s office called him and told him they weren t going to file. They have never spoken to me about anything. He broke all the windows out of my car tonight when I went to give my son a ride to get groceries. What s it going to take to get them to prosecute so he ll stop?
TOPEKA, Kan. Deputies in northeastern Kansas have arrested a man on suspicion of killing a woman whose body was found by law enforcement officers earlier this week at a mobile home park south of Topeka.
The Capital-Journal reports that Shawnee County Sheriff’s deputies were called around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to the mobile home in the unincorporated community of Pauline. Officials have not released the woman’s name or said how she died. On Wednesday, deputies arrested 61-year-old Jon Kelly Ewing, of Topeka, on suspicion of voluntary manslaughter.
He remained Thursday in the Shawnee County Jail on $1 million bail.
The Shawnee County Sheriff s Office has arrested a man in connection with voluntary manslaughter linked to the death of a woman reported shortly before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at a mobile home in the unincorporated community of Pauline, just south of Topeka.
Jon Kelly Ewing, 61, was booked at 1 a.m. Wednesday into the Shawnee County Jail, where he was being held on a $1 million bond Wednesday afternoon in connection with voluntary manslaughter committed upon a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion, according to jail records.
The victim s name and age hadn t been made public as of 2 p.m. Wednesday.
We have terrible stormwater runoff, said resident Deanna Pierson. We re in a flood zone.
Pierson, with help from an international organization that works with communities to address climate-related issues, published a survey late last year in The Wabaunsee County Signal-Enterprise to collect responses from area residents about local problems they thought needed to be addressed.
Nearly 75% of respondents, according to survey results provided to The Topeka Capital-Journal by Pierson, indicated reducing flood risk was a high priority.
But until recently, efforts to reduce such risk were stagnant that is until Pierson connected with Thriving Earth Exchange, a program that aims to help communities of all sizes tackle local issues related to natural hazards and resources. And Paxico just so happens to be the smallest community with which the earth exchange has ever worked.
