The lead prosecutor in the murder of 11 year-old Jeanna North says he hopes the Federal Bureau of Prisons knows what they have in convicted kidnapper and child killer Kyle Bell. 

As KFGO News first reported, the former Fargo man has been moved from the “supermax” prison in Colorado to what’s considered a maximum security prison in Arizona.  Insurance commissioner Adam Hamm was an assistant Cass County State’s Attorney when a jury found Bell guilty in the disappearance and murder.

Bell escaped from a prison-transport bus in New Mexico and was on the run for three months after he was convicted in the North case.  Before that, he jumped bail on child molestation charge in Fargo and was captured in Denver.
