After talking with Katherine's roommate, police returned to Pacer Park and conducted a thorough search of the garbage can, at which time they discovered a bloody towel. Given the circumstances of the discovery, investigators conducted an extensive search of the area, and a State Patrol helicopter was brought in to conduct an aerial search using an infrared thermal imaging device. The search was unsuccessful; however, when the helicopter was leaving the area, the pilot reported seeing a vehicle parked in the lot at the Rudy Kraemer Park Preserve.

When investigators arrived at the preserve, they checked the license plate and identified the vehicle as belonging to Katherine. The search came to an unfortunate and abrupt end when investigators popped her trunk hatch and found her lifeless body sprawled inside.

Forensic computer experts working with technicians at Craigslist.org were able to trace the classified ad to Anderson's computer, and he was arrested Friday at the Minneapolis airport, where he works as an airplane fueler.

Anderson has been behind bars in the Scott County Jail since his arrest on Friday. Appearing in court yesterday, shackled and dressed in orange prison garb, Anderson sat expressionless during the brief proceeding, during which his bail was set at $1 million. Afterwards, his attorney, Robert M. Speeter, told Startribune.com that Anderson's parents are having a difficult time dealing with their son's arrest.
