Osawatomie Police Detectives, using new evidence and a strategic operation, made a probable cause arrest of an Osawatomie man, who is linked to a rape case involving a 13 year old victim from ten years ago. Thirty four year old Daniel Spriestersbach, also known as Daniel A. Mills, was arrested Monday night, July 11, according to a News Release prepared by Chief David Stuteville of the Osawatomie Department.
The case was recently reopened by Osawatomie Police. Throughout the course of the investigation, new evidence was obtained, that allowed officers to conduct an operation in which Spriestersbach believed he was meeting with the alleged victim in the case. During the operation, he was taken into custody and transported to the Osawatomie Police Department where he was interviewed. Based on that interview, he was booked into the Miami County Jail on multiple felony charges, including rape, aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.
