North Dakota man convicted in decapitation slaying to start a white supremacist group

COOPERSTOWN, N.D. — A North Dakota man was convicted Tuesday of shooting and beheading a university researcher in what prosecutors claimed was an attempt to start a white supremacist group.

Jurors deliberated for less than three hours Tuesday before finding Daniel Wacht, 31, of Cooperstown, guilty in the death of 54-year-old Kurt Johnson. Wacht shook his head from side to side as the verdict was read. He faces up to life in prison without parole.

Johnson, who worked for North Dakota State University, was last seen alive getting into Wacht's van outside a bar in Cooperstown on New Year's Eve 2010. His severed head was found in a crawl space in Wacht's basement a week later. His body has never been found.
