LEAVENWORTH — A man remains in custody in Kansas in connection with the death of a 23-year-old woman in Omaha, Nebraska, after her body was found in a park in neighboring Council Bluffs, Iowa, according to the Leavenworth County Jail.
Ralph H. Bullard, 46, already was in the jail when they obtained an arrest warrant for him on possible charges that include second-degree murder and auto theft, according to Omaha Police.
Officials in both Nebraska and California are seeking to return Bullard to their states but released no additional details. Omaha police identified the victim of the homicide as Leah N. Verratti.
