Steven Pankey, charged with kidnapping and killing the 12-year-old girl, told a Colorado jury 'one lie leads to another'
When Steven Pankey took the stand in his own murder trial, he braced the jury for surprising testimony about the 1984 disappearance of Jonelle Matthews.
"I began a series of lies and it got bigger and bigger over the years," Pankey said, adding,"One lie leads to another." Pankey lived two miles from the Matthews house in December 1984 and had once attended the same church as the Matthews, but he was not considered a suspect until he repeatedly inserted himself into the investigation over several decades."I told the FBI I want to talk to you," Pankey recalled on the stand."It may or may not have something to do with Jonelle Matthews."
Through the years, Pankey often spoke to local media, investigators, and anyone else who would listen to him about his theories on Matthews. Pankey now wants a jury to believe he's been the victim of a misguided criminal investigation in Colorado.in the case, Pankey testified his involvement was all fabrication — orchestrated by him to get back at Greeley Police and others in the community who he felt had wronged him.The day before Matthews' disappearance in 1984, Pankey was arrested for causing a scene at a bank and released hours later.
