KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri man considered a person of interest in his ex-girlfriend's 2007 disappearance remains in jail after being charged with burning another missing woman's SUV.
Kylr Yust made his first court appearance on the felony knowingly burning charge Thursday. He's accused of torching 21-year-old Jessica Runions' small sport utility vehicle. The suburban Kansas City woman went missing last week. A judge entered a not guilty plea on Yust's behalf.
Police say Yust is a person of interest in his teenage ex-girlfriend's 2007 disappearance. Kara Kopetsky was last seen at her high school south of Kansas City.
. . .
Yust hasn't been charged in Runions' disappearance and police haven't said whether he knows her. The woman from the Kansas City suburb of Raymore was last seen leaving a party on Sept. 8, and her SUV was found burned and abandoned two days later in Kansas City. Yust was arrested the next day. Police say they are treating it as a suspicious missing-person case.
