A judge sentences 27-year-old Casey Frederiksen of Charles City to 14 years in prison for possession of child . Frederiksen is the ex-fiance of Noel Miller...the mother of five year old murder victim Evelyn Miller...

In a plea agreement Fredericksen agreed to not to appeal the ruling. The judge decided to sentence Frederiksen to 14 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release...

Several family members were in the courtroom for the sentencing. "We do love him and will continue to support him in every way we can."

Family members say they will also be there for Casey when he gets out of prison. The judge requested that Frederiksen be transferred to the prison in north Carolina for sex offender treatment. Following the course she requested he be placed in a prison near family.

Casey Frederiksen, 27, received the longest sentence allowed as part of a plea agreement he signed with federal prosecutors.

U.S. District Judge Linda Reade said during a hearing Thursday in Cedar Rapids that she imposed the 14-year term because of a 1992 incident in which Frederiksen, then 13, assaulted a 6-year-old girl and because Frederiksen tried to hide his computer hard drive from investigators.

"I will sentence this defendant at the high end of the range, given the reasons laid out," Reade said. "Specifically, the very serious prior history."

... Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Berry said Frederiksen's computer held 1,600 images of child , including a 13-minute video showing a child being sexually abused.

This is so sickening. He had 1,600 pictures of little children committing sexual acts and a video of a child being sexually abused. When he was 13 yrs old he assulted a little 6 yr old girl! I will never believe in a million years that he wasns't sexually abusing Evelyn. He is one sick pervert. And to think that little girl was alone with him nights while her mother was working. The pervert probably thought he really had it made having that little girl alone all night.

Did he let those two guys use Evelyn too? Did something happen to her at her own apartment. I wonder if those two guys were involved in that child too. I will always believe that Casey was involved in Evelyn's death. He is one sick animal. He won't admit it unless LE can prove it. I hope one of those two guys start talking.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa A man believed to be one of the last people to see Evelyn Miller alive is due in federal court in Sioux City this afternoon.

Danny Slick of Charles City is to be sentenced for lying to federal agents investigating the girl's 2005 disappearance and death. He admitted to giving false statements in the days after the five-year-old girl disappeared from her apartment in Floyd.



Miller's body was found days later in the Cedar River. No charges have been filed in her death

So what has happened to the guy that this guy lied for? He hasn't been hauled in yet..after all of this time. Convicting this guy for lying to the FBI or whoever isn't helping find the person who murdered little Evelyn. When is there going to be justice for her?

This little girl had the odds stacked against her right from birth. She was neglected and had a mother that has about half a brain in her head and a male living in the house that watched ...acts with children...all of the time...made his part of the living selling pot from the home and probably sexually abused Evelyn on a daily basis. Evelyn roamed around the apartment complex at all hours and then the worst happened to this beautiful little girl...she was raped and murdered and there has been no justice for her. If there was any evidence LE would have had it checked in a lab by now. I know they are slow but not this darn slow.

Maybe LE should get Casey and his two buddys together and crack some heads until someone talks. End of my rant.

Sioux City Journal: Slick sentenced to 1 year and a day for lying to agents

... Danny Slick, 27, of Charles City, Iowa, was sentenced to one year plus one day in prison after earlier pleading guilty of making false statements to federal investigators...

In explaining the prison sentence's extra day, U.S. District Judge Mark W. Bennett said a quirk in federal sentencing laws requires that offenders sentenced to 12 months are required to serve 100 percent of their sentences. Anything longer than a year allows inmates to earn 15 percent off of their sentence for good behavior...

His attorney, Leslie Stokke, of Cedar Rapids, said Slick had "misplaced loyalties" at the time he lied to investigators. While in custody, Slick has cleaned up his life and reconnected with his family...

Bennett waived a $250,000 fine and said he would recommend to the federal Bureau of Prisons that Slick be placed in a halfway house near his home...

Noel Miller Loses Custody of Her Boys

A Floyd County judge has terminated the parental rights of Noel Miller to her two younger children...

... over Noel Miller's objections, a judge has permanently cut her legal ties to her two sons, who are two and three. The boys have been in foster care since shortly after their sister disappeared.

Miller will be allowed to have one final visit with them in the next few weeks.

The boys' father, Casey Frederiksen, has voluntarily signed away his rights to his sons...

The boys are now eligible for adoption.

... a Floyd County judge has terminated her parental rights to her two younger children...

Reached by telephone Thursday, she said: "I'm not talking about it, sorry..."

The judge found that the two boys had been removed from their parents' physical custody for longer than six months, and that the parents had not maintained significant and meaningful contact and had made no reasonable efforts to resume care of the children...

Relatives of the boys' father declined to comment on the case Thursday because of confidentiality rules and because they had not seen the judge's order.

But relatives have said in the past that the boys' foster parents are taking excellent care of the boys and would like to adopt them.

Last December, Miller was hospitalized for mental health problems. Police were called to her home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, records show. Police said Miller was allegedly carrying a knife with a 5- to 8-inch blade. Miller later said she heard voices calling her a "baby killer..."

(The article goes on to outline some of Miller's past problems.)

Dan Slick is in jail for a year and 1 day and Noel won't ever get her boys back and we are still no closer to knowing who raped and murdered little Evelyn.

So did Slick and his roommate go right home from Evelyn's apartment or what. Slick is in jail for lying about his roommate being at home but where was the roommate actually at? Did LE ever figure that all out? For the life of me I can't see the advantage of jailing Slick when it didn't bring about any info about Evelyn's murder.

Is there ever going to be justice for little Evelyn?

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

IMO, they jailed Slick simply because they had to. He lied to authorities and since that is a crime and he was caught, he got convicted ... although it's hardly a serious sentence.

I believe that they're still looking at that other character. He's probably their number one suspect; at least I can't see how he wouldn't be. Hopefully it's just a matter of time because it's horrible to think that someone can do this to a young, innocent child and get away with it.

 

[Bobbisangel]

Time goes on and on and nothing is happening on this case. I wish we would hear if they actually are looking at the other guy. I still believe that Casey is somehow involved in this. He is a little pervert with all of that child on his computer and I will always believe that he used Evelyn as a sex toy. It just makes common sense. I just wonder if he passed her around to the dopers that stopped in to buy pot.

It's hard to tell if those two guys were actually the last people to see little Evelyn that night. Who knows who might have stopped in to buy some dope after they left. It's hard to believe that people don't keep the locks on their doors in working order. I guess they weren't concerned about people just walking on in while everyone slept.

I just want justice for little Evelyn. This innocent little girl didn't have a great life from the time that she was born. She should at least receive justice. It is heartbreaking to think of what happened to her. I wish someone had stepped in and jerked her out of that home.

Agreed. And what gets me is that her natural father and his family seem like fine people. Too bad he didn't have custody.
:doh:

Agreed. And what gets me is that her natural father and his family seem like fine people. Too bad he didn't have custody.
:doh:

It seems like the family had made many pleas to Child Protective Services to check on Evelyn and there had been numerours complaints about Evelyn's mom and her boyfriend. CPS didn't do anything until it was to late for Evelyn. I believe that Evelyn's dad did try for custody or was trying to get something going in court. It's to bad he didn't just go take her and then fight for her. When you know that your child is being neglected and that a pervert is raising your child...Casey...how can you leave them in that atmosphere knowing that something awful could happen to them? Sometimes you just have to say "screw the system." Especially when your kid's well being is involved.

I understand the question you ask about "how can you leave them in that atmosphere" and I wholeheartedly agree. The biggest problem that I see in situations like this is that the parent who decides to "screw the system" would get in so much trouble that it would prevent their actually being able to help. Does that make sense the way I worded it? In a situation like Evelyn's, it seems like her father did make attempts to get her out but had he taken her from the mother without permission of the courts, there would have been hell to pay. It appears that more and more the "system" doesn't work and it is so frustrating to see this happen around us, more and more.

I understand what you are saying and agree but because the system didn't work and the dad was afraid to just take her this little girl is dead. I don't know what the answer is but something has to change. Notice that after Evelyn died the little boys were taken out of the home and will never be going back!

I think that if I knew that my child or grandchild was being neglected and or abused and CPS wasn't doing anything after report after report I would just take the child and move far away. I wouldn't be able to just leave my child or grandchild there and live with myself. I know that the family never dreamed that Evelyn would end up dead but just look at the mess she lived in and the people who were raising her. Poor little thing.

I totally agree with you and I wish any of us could know the answer on how to change a system that doesn't seem to work in a lot of cases. Sometimes I wish it was as easy as an unfit parent just giving their child to the parent who could do better by the child- and it could be that easy? I've never been faced with this situation, but I believe I would want to scoop up the children and run fast and far away. It hurts the mind, body and soul to know what Evelyn suffered through and I pray that changes can be made somewhere, somehow that there aren't anymore of these cases.
