BETHEL PARK, Pa. (KDKA) - The man charged with kidnapping Jaime Feden from Bethel Park and taking her to Nevada was formally arraigned.

John Chapman was not in court for his arraignment Tuesday, and the paperwork was filed electronically.

Chapman is facing kidnapping charges in Jaime Feden's disappearance. He's also the prime suspect in her death.

Police say Chapman, 39, admitted to taking Feden into the desert, tying her to a signpost and suffocating her. They say the two dated on and off.
