Police try to make links in murders

i thought a small town like albion was safe. goes to show you...you can,t trust anyone. would just like to know what his address was here in albion.I,ve lost 2 children to cancer and an accident...i can,t imagine what those mothers are going through. at least i got to say goodbye to my children.he has 2 daughters. He doesn,t deserve them. i hope he gets what he deserves.an albion resident

at least he will be tried in TN instead of Albion, Il. So there isa better chance he will get what he deserves. In Albion he would be out on bail by now.

"out of jail." what a ridiculous comment.

A U.S. prosecutor accused of using the Internet to arrange for sex with a 5-year-old girl flew to Michigan carrying sexual materials and presents for the child, authorities said Tuesday.

John D.R. Atchison, 53, of Gulf Breeze, Fla., was arrested Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after several weeks of Internet conversations between the prosecutor and a detective posing as the mother of a 5-year-old girl, authorities say.

Officials said Atchison, an assistant U.S. attorney in Florida, made the trip anticipating a sexual encounter but was arrested instead. He was carrying presents for the girl, including a doll and hoop earrings, and also had sexual materials, including petroleum jelly, Sheriff Mark Hackel said.

A federal grand jury added a charge Tuesday of crossing state lines with intent to have sex with someone younger than 12. Atchison also faces charges of use of the Internet to seek illicit sex and interstate travel to engage in illicit sexual contact. He could face up to life in prison.
