ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A southern Oregon man who police said was their prime suspect in the death of a 14-year-old girl more than 10 years ago has been acquitted of aggravated murder charges.

The Roseburg News-Review reports that a Douglas County jury found Dale Wayne Hill not guilty on Friday of kidnapping and killing Stephanie Condon.

The teenager disappeared the night before Halloween in 1998 while she was babysitting her cousin’s twin toddlers at a home in rural Douglas County.

The 41-year-old Hill was arrested in 2009 after Condon’s remains were found on land near the home of Hill’s parents in Glide.

Hill cried in court when he heard the jury verdict, and some jurors also shed tears.
