John O’Connor of the Associated Press files a story from Springfield, Ill., about affidavits submitted against Jack Daniel McCullough in the kidnapping and killing  of Maria Ridulph.

McCullough, a former police officer, was fired over accusations that he molested a teenage runaway in the 1980s, O’Connor says. His ex-wife and others describe sexual and emotional abuse, O’Connor says, as well as allegations that he ran a photography business in his home and brought in prostitutes to take nude photographs of them.
