ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) - A suspect in the death of a Douglas County teenager who vanished in 1998 has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for failing to register as a felon.

The Roseburg News-Review reported that 39-year-old Dale Wayne Hill appeared for an arraignment hearing in Nevada on Thursday and pleaded guilty, saying he didn't know he was supposed to report.

Hill has not been charged in the death of Stephanie Condon (pictured at right) and denies involvement.

Douglas County investigators say he has been under suspicion since she went missing from a baby-sitting job. Her remains were found earlier this month.

The Nevada charge was a result of a burglary conviction in Oregon unrelated to the Condon case. Hill was arrested Wednesday at Dayton, Nev., where he was living.
