Steve Pankey was always curious about the case of his neighbor, Jonelle Matthews, a seventh-grader who vanished five days before Christmas in 1984.
It would take over three decades for the police to find out why.
“He was a monster who tapped on the shoulder of law enforcement,” retired lead detective Robert Cash told Fox News Digital. “He taunted law enforcement. But when we put the pieces of the puzzle together, it became clear. His behaviors and his writings – pretty much everything about his character – gave us an indication that his taunting us gave him fuel. It gave him satisfaction to think he had duped law enforcement.”

“It was his constant rehashing and laying these hints … it kept the case alive,” Cash shared. “And thankfully, he tapped on the right shoulder at the right time.”
The case of the 12-year-old Greeley, Colorado, resident is being explored in a two-part special on Oxygen, “The Girl on the Milk Carton.” It features new interviews with Matthews’ family, local police who investigated for almost 40 years, as well as Angela Hicks, Pankey’s ex-wife.
The documentary also details how Hicks played a role in solving the case.

“I hadn’t done any interviews [before], but I just felt the documentaries I was seeing, and some of the [true-crime] podcasts were just getting things so wrong,” Hicks told Fox News Digital. “It was just so inaccurate. . . . And I felt this documentary would honor Jonelle Matthews.”

Matthews was a member of the Franklin Middle School Honor Choir and active at the Sunny View Church of the Nazarene. After performing at a Christmas concert with classmates, she was taken home by a friend and the friend’s father. Her mother was out of state caring for her ailing grandmother, and her father was at her sister’s basketball game.
Matthews was last seen at 8 p.m. on Dec. 20, entering her family’s lit ranch-style home with a detached garage, the front yard blanketed by snow.

Hicks, who was married to Pankey at the time, described how they had been coming back from an “impromptu” trip to California. Hicks said they left Big Bear Lake “abruptly” when she first learned of Matthews’ disappearance.
“We were driving, and Steve said, ‘Turn the radio on,’” Hicks recalled. “It was unusual for us, because he had banned radio, TV and newspapers a year before. We didn’t have any of that in our lives. I assumed he wanted me to find some music to listen to, some old ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll. I tried to find that, but he said, ‘No, no.’ He wanted me to put on the news channels. That’s when I heard Jonelle Matthews was missing. That’s what he wanted to hear.”

“For the rest of Christmas Day and the next day until we got back to Greeley, while we were driving, I was constantly flipping the radio for news about the missing girl,” Hicks shared. “They mentioned Sunny View Church, which Steve was a member of. . . . But it was obsessive. It was him hearing the radio report over and over. Every time we listened to one station he would say, ‘Find another.’ . . . He just felt this strange need.”

Cash said that at the time, Pankey wasn’t a suspect but that he somehow needed to know everything about the investigation.
“Even in the early days of the case, he was the one who reached out to law enforcement,” Cash explained. “But it took decades for him to become a suspect.”

According to reports, Pankey inserted himself into the case, quickly raising eyebrows. But there was no evidence to prove he was involved in Matthews’ disappearance.

Jonelle Matthews “would have celebrated a happy 13th birthday with her family,” said President Ronald Reagan. “. . . But five days before Christmas, Jonelle disappeared from her home.” (Oxygen True Crime)
Meanwhile, Matthews’ case garnered national attention after President Ronald Reagan took up the case as part of his administration’s attempt to help locate the more than one million children who reportedly disappeared each year. Her picture was printed on milk cartons across the country as part of a project by the National Child Safety Council.

Meanwhile, Pankey had brushes with the law and spats with people. A few years after Matthews disappeared, Pankey and his family moved to different states before finally settling in Idaho.
Hicks said their marriage continued to deteriorate over the years.

Over the years, Steve Pankey kept tabs on the investigation of Jonelle Matthews. (Oxygen True Crime)
“Steve had made threats against my father,” she claimed. “. . . I was walking on eggshells, trying to keep the peace. I felt like I had to keep the people I cared about in my life safe. You’re in a domestic violence relationship, a coercive control situation, but it’s like you’re frozen. You feel like there’s nothing you can do without a plan or a support system. I was trapped. And especially when we left Greeley . . . I had no support system whatsoever.”

Prosecutors said that Pankey kept up to date on the case, even as he moved to several other states. In 1999, he told the Idaho Supreme Court, after causing a scene at a bank, that his conviction, which was later dismissed, had been an “attempt to force” him to “become an informant” in Matthews’ disappearance.
That year, Pankey told Hicks that police were “persecuting” him because he wouldn’t “tell them what they want to know about Jonelle Matthews,” 9News reported.

According to the outlet, Pankey told his wife, “Do you really think I would hurt her when she looked so much like you?”
Their divorce was finalized in 2002.

“They’re sad,” Jonelle Matthews’ sister told The Associated Press about their parents. “They’re grateful for all the hard work the Greeley Police Department has done.” (Oxygen True Crime)
The outlet also noted that when their son was murdered in 2008, Pankey brought up Matthews before the memorial service.

Pankey later turned to politics. He ran unsuccessfully as a Constitution Party candidate for Idaho governor in 2014 and in the Republican gubernatorial primary in 2018. Pankey was labeled a person of interest that year after claiming to have information about what happened to Matthews and asking for immunity from prosecution.
Then in 2019, Cash got a call he will never forget.

Lead detective Robert Cash, who is now retired, told Fox News Digital he was determined to find out what happened to Matthews. The missing girl is seen here as a baby with her family during happier times. (Oxygen True Crime)
“We learned there were some remains that had been found – I just had an electric feeling,” he recalled. “There had been other times when remains were found, and we thought maybe this was it, but we were mistaken. But this time, for whatever reason, this felt very unique. I made the trip down to where the remains were. Braces were still affixed to the teeth on the skull. Jonelle had braces when she disappeared. Then we could still see and make out the colors of the different pieces of clothing. It was a whirlwind of emotion and excitement. I was trembling. All hands were on deck.”

Matthews’ identity was confirmed with DNA technology. Her death was then ruled a homicide. Matthews died from a single gunshot wound to the head, prosecutors said.

“Parents cry out for help, many through letters to me,” President Ronald Reagan told editors in 1985 about the cases of missing children. “But a president can only do so much.” (Oxygen True Crime)
Pankey’s lawyers said that his behavior may have seemed unusual, but they argued that police had not secured hard evidence against him. They also pointed out that investigators had failed to clear an alternate suspect who had died in 2007, the Tribune reported.
Still, law enforcement had no doubt they had Matthews’ killer.

In 2022, Pankey was found guilty of felony murder, second-degree kidnapping and false reporting in the disappearance and death of Matthews in 1984, the office of District Attorney Michael Rourke said. A judge sentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 2040, the Greeley Tribune reported.

It was Pankey’s second trial in the case. In 2021, jurors were unable to reach verdicts on the kidnapping and murder charges, and prosecutors decided to put him on trial again.
Hicks, who testified, said that she finally felt “safe.”
“If he had not been found guilty, I truly would not have been safe from then on out,” she said. “So, I felt relief. But for the first time in 30-some years, I’m safe.”

The true motive behind Pankey’s act may never be known. But Cash has his theories.
Cash believes that to Pankey, Matthews “was nobody.” She was just “collateral damage” as a result of his anger against his church, one he “despised.”
“All of this was done in retribution of people who, in his mind, had wronged him,” Cash explained. “I think it highlights the callousness of the crime, the absolute lack of empathy or humanness in Steve. . . . And I think that’s what makes it even more tragic. She got in the way of a monster that, even in his act, had so little emotion.”

“As far as introducing or inserting himself into the case, I just think it goes to his neurosis, his feeling that he has to be fed the information. This was his way, I think, that he was able to play the game. I think, to him, this was all a game. If Steve Pankey had said nothing and not inserted himself into the case, then we probably would still be investigating the disappearance of Jonelle Matthews. Steve Pankey revealed himself, and it’s not unusual that suspects in crimes do this.”

“. . . I want people to understand that it’s never too late,” Cash reflected. “With the right connection, with the right intentions, cases like this can be solved.”

About Today’s Game
After falling farther behind in the NL Wild Card race, the Giants can’t afford to lose another game. They have to find a way to string a few wins together.
To start this important game, San Francisco will send Hayden Birdsong out to the mound. The 22-year-old rookie has started in 10 games this season, compiling a 3-3 record to go along with a 4.57 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP, a 2.1 K/BB ratio, and 45.1 innings pitched.
As for the Brewers, 29-year-old veteran Aaron Civale will be the starting pitcher. He has gone 2-2 this season with a 4.84 ERA, a 1.40 WHIP, a 2.1 K/BB ratio, and 41.1 innings pitched in eight starts.
The pitching matchup is fairly even. It will be interesting to see which offense can power its team to a big win.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams enters pivotal year feeling healthy, lean and ready to lower the boom
![Broncos RB Javonte Williams enters pivotal year feeling healthy, lean and ready to lower the boom Broncos RB Javonte Williams enters pivotal year feeling healthy, lean and ready to lower the boom](https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/TDP-L-Broncos-Colts-RJS-6444.jpg?w=1024&h=697)
Sean Payton found himself watching running back film one day during the leadup to the 2024 NFL Draft.
He had a running back from North Carolina on-screen that he really liked. Powerful runner. Capable of breaking tackles. A pretty decent receiver even though he didn’t get a ton of targets in the passing game.
The guy averaged 7.3 yards per carry his junior year and 6.3 per carry for his career.
Payton and the Broncos, though, didn’t select him in April’s draft.
Turns out, they already had the player on their roster for the last three years.
Now it looks like they might have the best version of the player back on the field.
That’s Javonte Williams.
In a moment undoubtedly orchestrated by Payton, Williams stopped by to see the head coach at one point this spring while Payton had his college film on.
“It was kind of crazy seeing me in a North Carolina jersey and him watching that, but like I said, he knows what he’s talking about, so I’m going to listen,” Williams said.
The order: Trim up. Get back to the guy in the powder blues.
So Williams spent the summer cutting out snacks and nighttime eating, dropped 12 pounds to get down to 221, and showed up for training camp feeling lean and strong.
“I called him in and I said, ‘This is the runner I want,’” Payton said. “That player that I saw was versatile — outside, inside — and I think we’ve seen that from him in camp. I’m encouraged with his progress, and obviously, he’s healthier.
“He’s having a good camp.”
The fourth-year running back is entering a critical season in his career. The shelf life on NFL backs is notoriously short and seems to get shorter every year. Not only that, but Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is now closing in on two full years since a devastating knee injury against Las Vegas on Oct. 4, 2022.
That not only ended his second pro season, but it also impacted his entire third year. He spent all of last offseason focused on recovery and pushing hard just to get back to the field.
“Last year’s offseason was pretty much just rehabbing and trying to regain strength,” he said. “Even trying to learn how to run again and things like that. This offseason, just being able to get away and focus strictly on football, drills, and moving.
“I feel like it was a huge benefit.”
Factor in a veteran offensive line, potentially a mobile quarterback in rookie Bo Nix and a set of running backs that overall has a combination of skill sets, and Williams should be at the tip of a running game spear that’s much sharper than a year ago.
One key area where the shed pounds and increased explosiveness could really help Williams: In the passing game.
Consider this: Williams had a career-high 47 catches in 2023. If it feels as though that flew under the radar, it’s in part because he turned those grabs into just 228 yards (4.9 per catch). According to Pro Football Focus data, only four of his catches and six targets out of 58 came past the line of scrimmage and outside the numbers. The rest were either behind the line of scrimmage, between the numbers, or both. When he catches the ball, there will be people around him and often in front of him.
Getting some burst back and trending back toward his early career ability to break tackles and make people miss could turn modest receiving numbers into solid ones very quickly.
The Broncos easily led the NFL in target share to running backs (31.9%) last year. And though quarterback Russell Wilson is gone, it stands to reason that the backs will be heavily involved in the passing game once again this fall.
Payton has a long history of it. Over 14 seasons in New Orleans — taking out an injury-scrambled 2010 — the back with the second-most touches on Payton’s Saints teams averaged 155 per year. He had nine seasons where a back finished with 70-plus catches. And though there may not be an Alvin Kamara on the Broncos’ roster, they have the kind of balance to meet or exceed last year when Williams (No. 17), Samaje Perine (No. 18) and Jaleel McLaughlin (No. 39) each finished in the top 39 in the NFL in targets among running backs.

Shootings overnight in Seattle leaves 1 man dead, 2 others injured

One man is dead and two others are injured in two separate shootings that happened in Seattle Monday night.
The first incident took place in the University District. The Seattle Fire Department responded to a call at Northeast 42nd Street near the Interstate 5 on-ramp, where they found a man with a gunshot wound. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The Seattle Police Department is investigating the homicide, but no suspects have been arrested.

Additionally, two people were injured in a shooting at Stan Sayres Boat Launch. Police received reports of shots fired around 8:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found multiple shell casings at the scene. Two victims with gunshot wounds later arrived at area hospitals in private vehicles. One man was reported to be in stable condition at Harborview Medical Center, while another victim, initially taken to Swedish First Hill, was later transferred to Harborview. The ages and conditions of the victims are currently unknown. No arrests have been made.

In another incident, Seattle police are investigating a shooting that occurred early Thursday morning in the University District. The incident happened near Northeast 52nd Street and 15th Avenue Northeast before 5 a.m. When police arrived, the victim had already been taken to a nearby hospital in a private car. According to police, a possible fight at a house party spilled into the streets, leading to a suspect pulling out a gun and shooting into the crowd. A 16-year-old was shot in the knee and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene and has not been located.
Police continue to investigate all three incidents.
