Horton, KS: Patricia Kimmi's murder was a contract killing, prosecutors allege

From Joe Lambe: A man is charged with capital murder in the death of a Horton, Kan., woman abducted last year, prosecutors announced today. Roger Hollister, 58, of Sabetha, Kan., could face the death penalty in what prosecutors said was a contract killing of Patricia Kimmi, 58.

Kimmi disappeared from her home in November and was missing for months. In May, police found her body at a Nemaha County farm owned by Hollister’s brother. Kansas Attorney General Steve Six and Atchison County Attorney Gerald Kuckelman announced that they would work together in prosecuting the case.

Hollister has been in custody since February on charges that he attempted to murder his wife, when she was a passenger in their pickup truck, by swerving the truck into a semi.
