CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A man questioned in the 2005 slaying of a 5-year-old Iowa girl whose killing remains unsolved has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on federal drug charges.
The U.S. attorney's office in Cedar Rapids says Casey Frederiksen, of Floyd, was sentenced Wednesday. He pleaded guilty last August to supplying methamphetamine makers with pseudoephedrine pills he stole from a Kmart where he worked.
Prosecutors say Frederiksen admitted stealing the pills, then lying to police about it during the investigation of Evelyn Miller's death.
The child and her mother, Noel Miller, lived with Frederiksen when Evelyn disappeared July 1, 2005. Her body was found in the Cedar River.
Frederiksen is serving a 14-year prison sentence on child pornography charges. The drug sentence will run consecutively to the other sentence.
