JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo.- The teenager who prosecutors say confessed to killing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway is expected in court Tuesday.

Prosecutors will likely charge 17-year-old Austin Sigg as an adult in the slaying of Jessica Ridgeway and in a separate attack on a 22-year-old woman at a nearby lake.

Jessica disappeared Oct. 5 after leaving her home to meet a friend for a walk to school.

Authorities found her remains five days later in a park near the home she had shared with her mother.

Sigg is currently being held without bail.
