Olsen is guilty on all 15 counts

As the jury read the verdict against Timmy Brent Olsen, Richard and Tamara Davis held each other.

"Count one: guilty. Count two: guilty." As the court clerk continued, the parents of missing Kiplyn Davis began to cry. After the 15th guilty verdict was read, they and other relatives gasped and cried in relief.

After hearing more than a week's worth of testimony and deliberating for just 5 1/2 hours, a jury of six men and six women found Olsen, 28, guilty on 15 counts of perjury and lying to a federal agent about his involvement in the disappearance and murder of the 15-year-old Spanish Fork girl.

Afterward, outside of court, Richard and Tamara Davis took time to urge people to continue their search for 5-year-old Destiny Norton, a Salt Lake City girl who has been missing since last Sunday.

"We want to mention our hearts and our prayers are with Destiny Norton and her family, and if anybody knows where she is to please contact her family so they won't have to go through the hell that they're going through, because we definitely know what they're going through."

Richard Davis said the verdict Wednesday was just the beginning of court proceedings that they hope will break through the wall of silence that for more than 10 years has surrounded his daughter's disappearance.

"It just started the ball rolling. This was just round one, and we're beginning round two," Davis said, referring to the pending murder charge that Olsen faces in 4th District Court in Provo. "I'm not going to rest until my daughter's brought home. I'm not going to give up until my daughter is placed where she needs to be placed in her proper resting place."

Federal prosecutors sent a warning to others who have yet to cooperate in the case that the pressure will not ease up.

"We believe this is just the beginning of finally bringing closure to this wonderful family," Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Lambert said.

"I just hope this shows to others who are out there who have information that we mean business and that we won't stop," Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlos Esqueda added.

Two co-defendants, Rucker Leifson and Chris Jeppson, are awaiting trial on perjury charges. Jeppson is accused of creating a false alibi for Olsen on the day Davis disappeared.

Esqueda said Olsen could face 75 years in federal prison when sentenced. U.S. District Judge Thomas Greene said a 70-day waiting period will allow federal officials to conduct a presentence interview with Olsen, and a sentencing hearing has been set for Sept. 29.
