Only 2 investigative agencies remained interested in the body found north of Angola in Steuben County, said sheriff's police Lt. Shari Heffner. The body had been removed to Fort Wayne in Allen County for an autopsy. The results had not been determined Wednesday afternoon but Porter officials already knew their investigation would have to continue. Porter County officials were informed by Steuben County Coroner Barb Julian that Kirkley's dental charts did not match the deceased woman's teeth. On July 21, Kirkley disappeared from her home in Hunter's Pointe, west of Valparaiso, where she lived with her husband, Robert.
Today marks a new entry to the long and intense investigation.
Reporter Susan Brown will be asked to name a source that revealed the existence of photographs depicting Malinski sexually torturing Kirkley. The motion to find the source of that information and find him or her in contempt of court was filed by Malinski through his attorney, Valparaiso lawyer John Martin. The Times printed the photograph information in a story about the new charges and motion seeking the death penalty. Judge Roger V. Bradford issued a gag order for all persons who are pertinent in the Malinski-Kirkley investigation. Martin is also seeking a change of venue for Malinski's trial, claiming he'd be unable to find impartial jurors in Porter County.
