Tucumcari man charged in slaying

A Tucumcari man has been charged with killing a Tucumcari woman missing since Sept. 13.

A New Mexico State Police news release reports Frank Keller is accused of killing Kimberly Draman, whose body was found Oct. 5 near the intersection of U.S. 54 and Quay County Road AC.

Officials have said Keller was arrested on unrelated charges last month driving Draman's vehicle in Las Vegas, Nev.

The release said Keller "admitted to his involvement in the death of Ms. Draman" and took investigators to her remains.

Keller is being held in the Quay County Detention Center without bond.
