The Kelsey Smith case brings to mind the murder of another young Kansas woman.

Just like Smith--- 19-year-old Jodi Sanderholm was kidnapped during the day January 5; shortly after dance practice with the Cowley County Community College dance team.

Sanderholm's body was found four days later about eight miles away near the Cowley County state fishing lake.

Justin Thurber is charged with capital murder, aggravated kidnapping, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy in Sanderholm's death.

Attorney General Paul Morrison is prosecuting that case and has said he'll likely seek the death penalty.

Thurber had allegedly been stalking Sanderholm.

Investigators haven't said whether they believe Edwin Hall had any prior contact with Kelsey Smith.
