FAIRBANKS, Alaska - An Alaska man who allegedly stalked his ex-girlfriend for months has been indicted on a charge of attempting to hire someone to kill her.
Roger Keeling, 54, of Fairbanks was charged with murder-for-hire in an indictment by a federal grand jury last week, U.S. Attorney Bryan Schroder said.

FAIRBANKS (AP) — An Alaska man who allegedly stalked his ex-girlfriend for months has been indicted on a charge of attempting to hire someone to kill her.
On Monday Alaska State troopers recovered a 2004 Dodge truck and a trailer that was reported missing two days before from the Alaska Steakhouse in Delta Junction.
Oddly enough, the stolen vehicle was found at the same location where it had been taken from without the owner’s knowledge. When troopers went inside and located the driver, he was recognized by troopers as 44-year-old John Emerick of Delta Junction.
Emerick told troopers that the owner of the truck loaned him the vehicle the day before and he was back to return it on Monday as agreed. He also told troopers that the trailer was parked at a family member’s house. But, the owner of the vehicle would tell troopers that he had never met Emerick nor did he loan him his truck and trailer.
