Jeremiah Connelly was convicted Tuesday in the murder of Jeanna Wilcoxen in September of 2018.
Investigators determined that Wilcoxen had canceled a meeting with Connelly. That upset him so he tracked her down and abducted her in a van. He then sexually assaulted her and choked her to death.
Connelly was arrested after police tried to conduct a traffic stop and he took off. The vehicle he was driving was stolen. Investigators mentioned Wilcoxen's death and that led to the discovery of her body on a road near Fremont.
Connelly was also found guilty of tampering with evidence.
