A surprising update has been reported in the disappearance and death of Ohio woman Katelyn Markham. This possibly closes another chapter in the 11-year-old cold case that was once the center of national media headlines alongside several other missing person in the same span of time. Will the arrest of this person also potentially bring closure to other cases in the area — or will it merely serve a step in confirming longheld suspicions about Katelyn’s case, specifically?
Numerous reports are sharing news of the arrest of 35-year-old Jonathan Palmerton, a familiar character over the course of the search for Katelyn Markham before her remains were ultimately found. Palmerton was the best friend of Katlyen’s fiance — John Carter — at the time of her disappearance, and has been questioned as well. In fact, Palmerton, Carter and two of their close friends were all four questioned multiple times in the search for Katelyn. From the very beginning of the Ohio woman’s disappearance, her fiancee and his close friends have been scrutinized for their behavior, along with other circumstances that shed them in less-than-positive lighting. Now it’s being revealed that Palmerton has been arrested for perjuring himself in association with Katelyn’s case.
Could this be the single domino that needs to fall in order for justice to be served? It’s highly suspicious that the first arrest made in the disappearing and murder of Katelyn Markham is none other than her fiancee’s best friend. Hopefully this arrest leads to the unraveling of lies that lead to the truth. In the meantime, it’s important to note that multiple women went missing in just a couple hundred mile radius surrounding the time that Katelyn disappeared. When her remains were later found in a wooded area, it only added to the suspicion that a serial killer (or killers) was hunting women in the area. Anything is possible in the unsolved murder of Katelyn Markham, but hopefully this latest arrest leads to closure — regardless of what that closure may be.
