A man named Patrick told KCCI News he heard a noise like a wounded animal and found a girl crying and she told him that she had escaped from somebody. The girl later told authorities that the man had taken them to an agricultural facility, reports CBS news.
Later that same day, Michael Klunder, 42, a registered sex offender was found dead in a rural Dayton area. Klunder had served time for assaulting a woman and abducting two toddlers from an apartment complex in Charles City, according to the Mason City Globe Gazette. The toddlers were later found in alive in a dumpster.
Shepard’s backpack and purse were found on Tuesday in the 400 block of Pilot Mound and Fraser by a farmer searching his property.
There is speculation whether Klunder was involved in the abduction and murder of two Evandsale girls, Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook. Authorities stated it was too early in the investigation to know.
