TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – A woman charged in the 2002 killings of her ex-husband and his fiancee at a Topeka home has agreed to return to Kansas.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that 51-year-old Dana Chandler waived extradition Tuesday from Duncan, Okla. She was arrested there Monday outside a fast-food restaurant.
Chandler is accused of shooting Mike Sisco and Karen Harkness multiple times as they slept on July 7, 2002. She’s charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder.
Chandler was living in Colorado when the unsolved case was featured in October 2009 on the CBS program “48 Hours Mystery.”
Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor says investigators learned last month that Chandler was in Oklahoma. He says she lived in a tiny trailer parked on land owned by her sister and brother-in-law.
