– Woman murdered in creek
– Men arrested for 1989 murder.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : In a shocking turn of events, Wiley Belt and his brothers Leonard “Dwight” Banks and Bobby Lee Banks have been taken into custody in connection with the tragic death of Kelle Ann Workman back in 1989. The Missouri woman, who was last seen mowing the lawn at a rural cemetery on a summer evening, met a grisly fate when her body was discovered in a creek about 10 miles away a week later. The circumstances surrounding the 24-year-old’s death remained a mystery for over three decades until this recent development.
According to reports by the Associated Press, the authorities have charged the three men with first-degree murder, forcible rape, and first-degree kidnapping. The arrests were announced by the Douglas County Sheriff, Chris Degase, during a press conference held at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church, close to where Workman was last seen before her disappearance.
The suspects, Wiley Belt and brothers Leonard “Dwight” Banks and Bobby Lee Banks, have been under suspicion since the inception of the case, as per information obtained by PEOPLE from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department. The local newspaper, which has diligently followed the case over the years, highlighted that Bobby allegedly failed a polygraph test in 1990 and his ex-girlfriend did not provide an alibi for him on the night of Workman’s disappearance.
Further revelations from archived reports by the Missouri Highway Patrol Crime Lab indicated that Dwight, along with another individual, had an arrest warrant issued against him seeking DNA evidence linking him to the murder. However, the testing did not yield conclusive results. The court records obtained by the AP did not specify attorneys for the accused, who are presently being held on a $250,000 cash-only bail.
During the news conference, Douglas County Prosecutor Matthew Weatherman praised the individual who came forward with crucial information, describing it as “rock-solid”. He expressed satisfaction with the progress made in the case, stating that it was as good as it could be for a case dating back to 1989.
As the legal proceedings unfold, it is imperative to ensure that justice is served for Kelle Ann Workman and her family.
