CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — A southeast Missouri prosecutor has dropped murder charges in the death of a 15-year-old girl, citing a failure of witnesses to come forward.
Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Welker told KFVS-TV that charges could be re-filed against 29-year-old Isaiah Lane of St. Louis if new information comes forward in the death of 15-year-old Madison Robinson.

Madison was shot to death in August in Cape Girardeau. Lane was charged with first-degree murder and other counts.
Madison’s mother, Yameka Robinson, believes that there are witnesses to the killing, but they’re refusing to cooperate out of fear of retaliation.
