(20.0K)
Assume that you are a reporter for a newspaper in your town. Using the information presented in exercises 1 to 5, write news stories at various junctures in a criminal case. First, use the following information to write an arrest story.
An 11-year-old girl, who had been missing for two days, was found dead last Saturday in a field four miles south of town. Her body was found by two teen-agers who were jogging on a country road. The name of the girl was Sally Jones. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Jones.
The county coroner released a report Tuesday saying that the girl had been sexually assaulted and strangled and had been dead since the previous Thursday, June 20.
One week after the body was found, a 23-year-old man was arrested by police.

The man was identified by Police Chief Donald South as William J. Henderson. Henderson was arrested Saturday night in the county jail, where he had been for three days for a probation violation.
At a press conference Saturday evening, South said that he did not know whether Henderson had a criminal history of sex offenses. Henderson was employed as a construction worker by a local firm.
Henderson was being held for investigation of first-degree murder and sexual assault, according to South.
