Sioux FAlls, SD (KELO-AM) 42-year-old Christopher Kryger has been found guilty of raping and murdering a Sioux Falls woman found strangled in her bathtub early last year.
When the body of 56-year-old Kari Anne Kirkegaard was first discovered, authorities thought she may have died of natural causes.
Prosecutors say DNA and other evidence proved that Kryger raped and killed Kirkegaard. Kryger maintains the two had consensual sex and that he didn't kill her.
Now that the jury has convicted Kryger, prosecutors haven't said whether they intend to seek the death penalty.
