PINCKNEYVILLE, Ill.  • Authorities continue to investigate the death of confessed murderer Carl Dane in his Perry County Jail cell on Friday.

Dane, 19, was sentenced to 60 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in June of first-degree murder in the death of 15-year-old Sidnee Stephens of Pinckneyville in July 2010. Dane was scheduled to be transferred to the Menard Correctional Center on Friday.

State Police were investigating and told the Southern Illinoisan newspaper on Friday that foul play was not suspected.

Authorities said Dane entered Stephens' home and choked her until she was unconscious, then drove her to Beaucoup Creek south of Pinckneyville and shot her two to four times.

Two other suspects in the slaying, both 18, are awaiting trial.
