HUTCHINSON– The Reno County Sheriff Office reports the victim whose body was found near Nickerson on Monday has been identified as 38-year-old Mary Ann Arnett.

A passerby found her body in a small creek near 43rd & Riverton Road three miles south of Nickerson and called 911. Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson says the family identified the woman based on her tattoos.

Sheriff Captain Steve Lutz says the KBI is conducting interviews in the case.

Authorities say they believed 22-year-old Jonathan P. Wilson killed Arnett.

Hutchinson Police shot and killed him early Tuesday.

Wilson reportedly admitted to a person in a home on North Van Buren in Hutchinson that he had murdered someone leading to the confrontation with police.
