$5M bail for man charged in 1986 rape, murder of 11-year-old girl

A Connecticut judge ordered a Maine man detained on $5 million bail in connection with the 1986 rape and killing of an 11-year-old girl.

The decision came Monday in Norwalk as 53-year-old Marc Karun made his first court appearance in Connecticut since being arrested last week near his home in Stetson, Maine.

Karun is charged with murder and kidnapping in the sexual assault and strangling of Kathleen Flynn.

"Bittersweet because nothing can bring back Kathleen Flynn no matter what the investigation is," said Lt. Arthur Weisgerber of the Norwalk Crime Scene Unit.

The murder of Kathleen Flynn shocked the core of the Norwalk community.

Police say the sixth-grader was killed while walking home from Ponus Ridge Middle School in Norwalk on September 23, 1986.

Kathleen's body was discovered in a wooded area.
