A Pennsylvania man who authorities say killed his girlfriend in a Nevada desert has been convicted.  A jury in U.S. District Court in Nevada on Wednesday found John Matthew Chapman, 44, guilty of one count of kidnapping resulting in death, for the death of 33-year-old Jaime Feden of Bethel Park. He faces life in prison at a sentencing hearing scheduled for August 2nd.  They say that after killing Feden in September 2019, Chapman pretended to be her on her Facebook messenger account and lived at her residence.  The woman’s neighbors in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, became suspicious when they hadn’t seen her or her vehicle for months but saw Chapman around the house, prosecutors said. Police conducted a welfare check and found identification cards with Chapman’s name and photo, the victim’s cellphone, zip ties and a roll of duct tape, they said.  (Photo:  WPXI)
