BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) â Fifteen years after 3-year-old Reachelle Smith disappeared, Minotâs police chief announced Tuesday that the case on the girl known as âPeanutâ is closed and that police believe the only suspect in her disappearance killed her.
Chief John Klug said police think âwithout a doubtâ that the girl was slain by Leigh Cowen, who killed himself about a week after Reachelle was last seen. Her body was never recovered.
At a news conference Tuesday, Klug and Capt. Jason Sundbakken revealed previously undisclosed evidence, including that a âsubstantial amountâ of Reachelle s blood was found in a cooler at Cowen s home and that neighbors and family reported he had been acting strangely after the girlâs disappearance.
