Newton County Prosecuting Attorney Scott Watson told KSPR, Springfield, that three sources told him hotline calls had been made to the Division of Child Services on behalf of nine-year-old Rowan Ford of Stella, who was later murdered. Her stepfather, David Spears, 25, Stella, and his friend, Chris Collings, 32, Wheaton, have been charged with first degree murder, forcible rape, and statutory rape, in connection with the crime.
KSPR also noted the story, first broken today on The Turner Report, that the prosecuting attorney has issued subpoenas to Child Services for information on the hotline calls.
The state has until Friday to respond to the subpoenas.
