2:39:49Now PlayingClosing arguments are underway Tuesday morning in the trial for Steve Pankey, who's charged with the 1984 killing of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews in Greeley.
Testimony in the trial for the former Idaho gubernatorial candidate began on Oct. 13 and has lasted roughly three weeks.
Jonelle was last seen on Dec. 20, 1984, when she was dropped off at her Greeley home following a Christmas concert. When her father came home about an hour after she was dropped off Jonelle was not there, but her shoes had been left behind, the front door was open and the TV was on.
She remained missing until July 2019 when her body was found in a Weld County field by crews digging at an oil site.
In October of 2020, Pankey was arrested in Idaho after he was indicted by a grand jury on first-degree murder and kidnapping charges. Jury selection in his trial began in early October before opening statements on Oct. 13.
