LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A man arrested for the 2004 killing of a 22-year-old Arkansas woman has been extradited to Arkansas, according to the county sheriff’s office.
As of Monday evening, William Alma Miller, 44, was placed in the Izard County jail and is scheduled for a circuit court hearing today on a first-degree murder charge, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Miller was arrested on suspicion of killing Rebekah Gould, who was found dead more than 15 years ago. Her body was found at the bottom of an embankment six days after she was reported missing.
Gould was a student at Northwest Arkansas Community College in Bentonville and had transferred there from Melbourne’s Ozarka College shortly before her death.
A special agent with the Arkansas State Police’s Criminal Investigation Division assigned to the case sought Miller’s arrest after learning that he had returned from an “extended stay” in the Philippines to his residence in Cottage Grove, Ore., according to the state police news release.
Miller is being held without bail.
