ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Skeletal remains found last week on an abandoned logging road in Oregon belong to a 14-year-old girl who disappeared in 1998, according to investigators.

Police in Nevada arrested Dale Wayne Hill, who continues to be a suspect in the case according to investigators in Oregon. Hill was arrested in Dayton, Nev., on suspicion of failing to register as a felon.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office held a press conference Wednesday morning and confirmed that the remains found near Glide, Ore., are those of Stephanie Condon.

Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said that no cause of death has been announced, but that the remains are still being examined. Hanlin said that the investigation is ongoing, and he still hopes to make an arrest in the case.

Condon disappeared the night of Oct. 30, 1998. She was 14 years old at the time.

Condon was babysitting for her cousin Cheryl Richey at Richey's home on Henry Street in Tri City the night of her disappearance.

Richey returned home around 1:30 a.m. and found her twins sleeping in their beds.

She also found Stephanie's backpack, schoolbook and clothes.

Stephanie was gone.

The remains were found near a logging road in the Little River area near Glide, Ore., by a hiker who was walking his dog on Friday, March 13.

The remains were sent to the Oregon State Police Crime Lab for identification.

Stephanie's family launched a Web site about the case on the 9th anniversary of her disappearance.

Condon's story has been featured on various national programs over the years, including an episode of the CBS show Without a Trace, as well as appearances by family members on The Early Show on CBS.

The night Stephanie disappeared

Hill was 28 and Condon 14 in October 1998 when she disappeared while baby-sitting for the twins of her cousin, Cheryl Richey.

Deputies said a year after Condon disappeared that they believed Hill harmed her in retaliation against Richey, who was at a bar with another man that evening. Hill had been in the bar earlier that evening.

Douglas County sheriff's spokesman Dwes Hutson said Wednesday that Hill and Richey were "acquaintances, knew each other," but would not elaborate.

Richey returned home at about 1:30 a.m., finding the twins asleep and Condon gone.

A month after Condon vanished, Hill was arrested and charged with burglary for breaking into a Myrtle Creek home and stealing a pair of women's panties. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to nearly six years in prison.

During the decade of investigation, Douglas County detectives said Hill's .38-caliber handgun was missing, and Hill told them he had sold it but could not remember to whom.

Hill told deputies he saw the girl the night she vanished when he stopped by the house where she was baby-sitting. He apparently is the last person known to have seen her alive.

Search and rescue teams combed back roads near Myrtle Creek, especially in areas where a truck similar to one owned by Hill had been reported by local residents.

Hundreds of clues poured in, from as far away as Kentucky and Missouri and some foreign countries. The reward fund for information reached $25,000.

"I never expected them to find her," said Kayla McCurry, a high school freshman when Condon disappeared and now a substitute teacher in the Portland area. She remembered classmates feeling kept in the dark at the time.

"It's nice that there's some closure for her family," she said. "This is 10 years of just kind of floating around not knowing."
