Convicted KS Child Killer Confesses to New Murder -- From KAKE & WRTV, Indianapolis
November 2 -- Danny Rouse was first questioned as a person of interest in the amber alert of a 16-year-old girl in Indiana. In court this morning, there are reports he confessed to killing the murdered teenager.
Stephanie Wagner disappeared while leaving work at a restaurant in Winimac, Indiana. Her body was found late last night. Rouse was seen leaving that restaurant at the same time as Wagner.
Rouse also worked at the restaurant, and reportedly told an investigator a feeling overcame him. He says he attempted to strangle Wagner, and realized she was not dead, so he took out his hunting knife and stabbed her. He says he then took her to a cornfield and left her.
Rouse was convicted of first degree murder and aggravated battery back in 1980, for killing a 5-year-old Wichita boy in Sedgwick County in 1979. Rouse was paroled to Indiana from a Kansas prison this past March.
Rouse's Indiana court appearance this morning was a bond hearing. He is currently being held in jail without bond. Rouse is expected to be back in court to formally hear the charges against him.
