(AP) — A 19-year-old woman charged with killing a Lawrence businessman has agreed to return to Kansas from Florida, where she was arrested over the weekend while camping in Everglades National Park.
Sarah Brooke Gonzales McLinn waived an extradition hearing Wednesday in federal court in Miami.
McLinn is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 52-year-old Harold Sasko, who owned pizza restaurants in Lawrence and Topeka. McLinn was an employee, and Sasko’s relatives have said he let her move into his home while she was having personal problems.
McLinn’s family reported her missing around the same time Sasko was found dead Jan. 17 in his home. Douglas County authorities allege Sasko was killed with an “edged instrument” after being subdued.
