 A 25-year-old Kuhn Rapids man has been indicted by a grand jury on 19 felony counts in connection with the death of a 5-year-old girl in August. Zachary Todd Anderson is accused in the kidnapping, murder and sexual assault of Elena Erdle. Anderson was arraigned in Cass County Court today on eight counts of first-degree murder, one count of second-degree intentional murder, four counts of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of theft and two counts of interference with a dead body. Anderson could face life in prison if convicted. Anderson was a guest of Erdle's parents and was staying overnight on August 20th. Erdle's parents noticed both Anderson and the girl missing around eight that morning. Later that day, law enforcement located Anderson at a cabin located near Leader Minnesota in Cass County. Elena's remains were found a short distance from the cabin. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
