The man suspected of abducting two Dayton, Iowa girls on Monday had a long history of sexual violence, including an accusation of attempted rape at the age of 15 and years spent in prison after being found guilty of two separate assaults and kidnappings. Michael James Klunder, 42, was found dead of an apparent suicide several hours after the abductions. Law enforcement officers and volunteers spent Wednesday searching for Kathlynn Shepard, 15, who was still missing as of Thursday morning.
