For the first time since the sad saga of a slain northeast Iowa girl began nearly three months ago, an arrest has been made in connection with the case. Federal authorities have charged Casey Frederiksen, of Charles City, with possession of child pornography.
The 26-year-old Frederiksen is the fiancee of Noel Miller, the mother of five-year-old Evelyn Miller, who was found murdered near her home in Floyd in July. U.S. Attorney Charles Larson Senior announced today that Frederiksen is being charged with one count of possession of child pornography.
The charge is included in an indictment filed yesterday in U.S. District Court, and unsealed today. Frederiksen was arrested by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service last night. His first appearance in federal court is scheduled for 1 P.M. today. If Frederiksen is convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine. So far, officials have not made an arrest in connection with Evelyn Miller’s death.
