KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County Prosecutors Tuesday announced they had to drop charges against a man accused of killing a Raytown jogger in 2012 after witnesses became unavailable to testify in the case.
Prosecutors had charged Craig Brown with the second-degree murder of Harry Stone.
Stone's wife, Bobbie Stone, said she was disappointed in the news.
Prosecutors said Harry Stone was killed on May 3, 2012 while on a morning jog on Blue Ridge Blvd. in Raytown when a dark car passed by near 67th Street and shot him.
Charges in the case wouldn't be filed for nearly four years. According to prosecutors, a gun found in Brown's vehicle after a crash matched the gun used to kill Stone. Investigators also spoke to a person who said he was with Brown during the shooting and identified him as the man that killed Stone.
The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office is still working the case.
