Brewer&#8217;s body has never been found, although her partially-burned purse was discovered in a trash container.<br />
While that case was under investigation, Howell was arrested in a 1999 home invasion robbery in Gardner, Kansas, in which a pet cat was beheaded.<br />
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Before he was freed, Jackson County, Missouri, jurors acquitted him in the deaths of Travis and Brewer.</p>
