Sam Pimper The most shocking crime development of this year was an arrest being made in relation to a multiple-decade Council Bluffs cold-case homicide. In mid-October, the Council Bluffs Police Department announced that 52-year-old Matt Kennedy was arrested in connection with the death of his step-sister, Kimberly Ratliff, who in January 1999 was found inside of her vehicle brutally murdered in the 1400 block of West Broadway. Kennedy at the time of his arrest was a resident of Fairfield, Montana, but was living in Council Bluffs at the time of the murder. He was taken into custody and held in Teton County Jail prior to being extradited back to Iowa, according to Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber. He remains in custody in Pottawattamie County Jail awaiting a Dec. 21 arraignment.
