Dittmeyer death still a mystery Authorities haven’t released any new information in over a week BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — It’s been a week since authorities held a press conference to announce they would not be releasing information from Krista Dittmeyer’s autopsy for at least another month.
Since that announcement there has been no more information coming out of investigators regarding the death of the 20-yearold Portland mom. Dittmeyer's car was found April 23 in a Mount Cranmore parking lot with the engine running, emergency flashers on, and her infant daughter inside. Five days
later, Dittmeyer's body was found in a Cranmore snow-making pond. The investigation into her death is being treated as "suspicious," but the autopsy yielded no conclusions as to the "cause and manner" of death pending toxicology results. see DITTMEYER page 8

Stevens leaving library, bound for Boise BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The good news is that curator Ed Stevens has enhanced the technological capabilities of the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room in his 20 months at the post, adding to the computer work started by his late predecessor, David Emerson. The bad news is that come the end of this month, he's leaving.
The library is currently advertising on its website and in publications, including The Conway Daily Sun classifieds section, for a replacement to fill the 20 hours-a-week post, which is being advertised as paying between $16 and $16.50 per hour, plus benefits. Library director Tara Thomas said that as of Tuesday, 10 candidates had applied. Stevens, 73, is leaving May 30 but has agreed see STEVENS page 11
