A search of Porter and Crawford’s home and the stolen car outside revealed several items belonging to Cristina Prodan, including jewelry, clothing and a cellphone.
Given the multistate nature of Porter’s alleged actions,
federal authorities now have the case, according to Edina police.
Porter’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 2. His attorney, Peggy Egan, did not return calls seeking comment on the allegations.
Kathryne said Friday she hopes her son admits to killing Prodan but doubts he will.
“He’s a master manipulator, and he will try anything” to avoid going to prison, she said. “He’ll say he didn’t do it or say he is bipolar.”
