US murder suspect steals passenger plane, crashes it, then kills himself She had been stabbed multiple times. Colorado Springs police said they had contacted SkyWest officials and asked them to deactivate his access cards in case he showed up at the airline anywhere in the country. Court records show that Hedglin dated Cornejo for four years and was arrested in March after police say he had been harassing her. A restraining order was issued against him in March, and he was set for trial in August. He was free on $10,000 bond. Attorney Steven Rodemer, who represented Hedglin in that case, said he was facing misdemeanour charges of criminal mischief, theft and harassment, but felony charges were dismissed Thursday. "I'm completely surprised," he said of Hedglin's death. Cornejo was a full-time soldier in the Colorado Army National Guard's 100th Missile Defense Brigade in Colorado Springs, military officials said. Her family requested privacy. Hedglin was also a member of the Colorado National Guard, where he was a part-time soldier who worked as a cook. He had no specialised military training and was never deployed, Capt. Darin Overstreet said. SkyWest officials said the CRJ-200 that Hedglin stole was not in service at the time. The aircraft is made by Bombardier and is capable of flying up to 534mph (859kph) with a range of 1,700 miles (2,735 kilometres). Normally it has a two-person flight crew and a single flight attendant. Authorities continued to investigate the breach at the small southern Utah airport about 120 miles (190 kilometres) northeast of Las Vegas. A dozen flights leave or arrive at the St. George airport each weekday, according to the airport's website. Most run between southern Utah and Salt Lake City, with two flights connecting St. George and Los Angeles. Source: Associated Press
