MURDER CHARGES WILL BE FILED IN DODDRIDGE - Missing 14-Year-Old's Body Discovered

(06/29/2005)
The body of a 14-year-old Doddridge County girl was found yesterday following an extensive search which began Sunday.

The Doddridge County prosecuting attorney says he expects charges in the case will be filed before the end of this week.

Mariah Keigley's body has been sent to the state Medical Examiner's office.

Hundreds of volunteers have been combing the woods near her home in the Miletus area near the Harrison County line.

The body was apparently found wrapped in plastic in the home.

Keigley's father is hospitalized at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. State Police say he was checked into the facility on Sunday suffering from severe, self-inflicted wounds to his wrists.
