FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A convicted child molester has been charged with killing a 3-year-old Northern California boy who was snatched from his bedroom and vanished in 1984.
The San Francisco Chronicle (https://bit.ly/1WRTEkh ) says 55-year-old Michael Fejarang was charged Monday with first-degree murder with special circumstances.
Authorities contend he kidnapped Clark Handa from his Fairfield home and left a note demanding money for the boy’s return. However, nobody ever contacted the family and the boy was never seen again.
Fejarang was a friend of the family.
On Tuesday, Fairfield police said the department’s cold-case unit began re-examining the case in 2011 and found evidence leading to Fejarang.
Fejarang already is serving 26 years at the state prison in Chowchilla for three separate cases of child molestation.
