How horrific! Rest in peace Madeline. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Thankfully this guy seems less than bright. I hope he's never released into society again!

These cellphones are solving more crimes than Sherlock Holmes. And the perpetrators never seem to learn! Teens are supposed to be tech savvy, but the young suspects are the most clueless of all.

From the Law&Crime news article:

"Investigators allegedly have evidence, too, that will prove Cook’s cellphone was “in the area of the victim’s residence” when the murder took place."

A Cleveland County prosecutor painted a picture Tuesday of a defendant who did not deserve to be walking the streets after being charged with the rape and murder of Moore High School senior Madeline Bills.

First Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Austin, during a video arraignment for defendant Chace Cook, called Cook “a threat to the community and to all females that probably know him.”

“This defendant is a continuing threat to the community,” Austin told Special Judge Lori A. Puckett, as Bills’ parents looked on. The prosecutor cited video and cell phone evidence along with physical evidence placing Cook at the crime scene.

Puckett agreed with Austin, and set Cook’s bond at $5 million. His next court appearance is scheduled for June.

Cook, 19, faces one count each of first-degree rape and first-degree murder. Prosecutors in District Attorney Greg Mashburn’s office allege Cook killed Bills while he sexually assaulted her.

According to Moore police investigators, the result of an autopsy performed by the state Medical Examiner’s officer “revealed findings of strangulation.”
