Fairfield Police today admitted they are investigating a possible connection between a Hamilton man, arrested six days ago for rape, and the disappearance of Katelyn Markham. 26 year old Gurpreet Kang lived in the same neighborhood as Markham, and worked at a convenience store nearby.

In a statement released today, detectives go on to say, "This information has already been integrated into our ongoing investigation. As it is an ongoing investigation, the Fairfield Police Department will reserve any further comments on this information."

I hate to think that was the last face she saw. He is creepy. But he lived and worked right next to her. He may have watched John leave and knocked, her thinking John came back for something. He may have even seen that key hidden outside and planned this.And she very well could have known him and thought nothing of opening the door to him. I sure hope this is the break that is desperately needed.
 
On June 15, Oxford police arrested Gurpreet Kang, 26, of Hamilton for an alleged sexual assault of a Miami University student that occurred last year in Oxford.
Kang reportedly worked at a convenience store and lived near Markham’s residence, Lt. Kevin Haddix of the Fairfield Police Department said in a release.
Fairfield police Chief Mike Dickey refused to comment on the Markham case and would not specify the convenience store where Kang supposedly worked.
“We’ve been in contact with Oxford police. You’ll have to draw your own conclusions from that,” Dickey said.
Kang was arrested about two weeks ago by authorities in Wayne County, Mich. in Detroit and was extradited to Ohio.

News 5's Karin Johnson talked with neighbors Wednesday who said Kang lived across the street from Markham at one time. The apartment building owner said Kang's family rented the apartment, but Kang's name was not on the lease. New tenants moved in in June 2011, the owner said.

The owner of a gas station on East River Road that was visible from Markham's home told Johnson Thursday that Kang worked at the station for about five years before leaving last summer. The owner would not confirm reports that Kang's family owns the station.

I'm afraid that they have so little to go on that only a confession will solve this one. Even with a quickly discovered body in the Chelsea Johnson case, they haven't been able to make an arrest.
 
soooo was it a codis link (dna?) or have they been "onto" him? wonder if he has any other criminal records?
 
Finally, some news for Katelyn. It sounds like police at least are keeping an investigation active. I sincerely hope that something breaks in her case soon! Prayers for Katelyn. :praying:
 
If Katelyn would have walked over to that C Store for something this guy would be able to alter any video of her.
 
Interesting that one of John's friends on the Katelyn Considering Everything Facebook page named MM says that she was with John in CVS after Katelyn went missing and talked with this guy. She said Kang kept telling her and John how sorry he was that Katelyn was missing.

I believe Katelyn and John smoked cigarettes, so that would be an obvious reason to be familiar with people who worked at the nearby gas station.
 
okay... so here is a map to show condos, apartments (there is only one set on that street so I am sure they are the ones) and the gas station on east river road that is by her condo (only one) and also marked hamilton, Ohio where he moved last summer

I don't see how they will be able to link this guy to Katelyn, unless he confesses...LE has always said there was no crime scene, no clues as to what happened to her. But I hope they can, of course, if he is guilty. If he is, obviously not good for Katelyn, as it is pretty clear he is not "holding" her somewhere, IMO.
