DECORAH, Iowa – A former Iowa man told authorities he would plead not guilty in the 2017 disappearance and death of a teen-age Decorah girl. James Bachmurski, ge65, was expected to make the plea official in an arraignment hearing on Tuesday. Bachmurski had been arrested recently in Georgia and was extradited this week to Decorah. The charge stemmed from a cold case. According to the criminal complaint, 15-year-old Jade Marie Colvin went to Bachmurski’s home on Skyline View Drive in Decorah in March 2017. The two had been messaging electronically for about 20 days, investigators said.
