Convicted, but maybe not convicted SO in Court

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas man accused of killing a 7-year-old girl in 1994 told a judge Wednesday morning that he is not guilty.

Gregory Wallen, a convicted sex offender, was ordered to be held without bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 1.

Wallen was arrested Monday in Pahrump, more than 15 years after the disappearance and slaying of Diana Hernandez. Her body was found in a trash bin near the Sandpiper Apartment complex at Flamingo Road and Maryland Parkway.

Detectives went through a list of registered sex offenders and matched Wallen’s name to the list of volunteers who helped search for Hernandez when she went missing. Police said Wallen’s DNA matched evidence found on the girl’s body.

Wallen had been accused of sexual assault in 1992, but had not been convicted and was not added to the registry until 1999.

hmmm, Ok, I give up. If he was accused of sexual assault, was not convicted, then how again is he a 'Convicted Sex Offender'?? And the cops used the list of volunteers that searched for her as the list of suspects? This sounds really really fishy..

Just goes to show you (once again) NEVER help the police in any way, shape, fashion or form!
