Man convicted of murder in woman's 2006 slaying even though her body was never found

An Alabama man who was arrested 12 years after a woman went missing was convicted of capital murder in her slaying Thursday despite authorities never locating a body.

Jurors convicted Derrill Richard Ennis, 41, in the slaying of Lori Ann Slesinski, 24, during their second day of deliberations, news outlets reported.

Lee County prosecutors have said they were seeking the death penalty in the death of Slesinski, who has been missing since 2006.
