Body of missing Hatfield woman found; ex-husband in jail

Talk about it

A mother of 2-year-old twins missing for eight days was found dead over the weekend. Her ex-husband is now in jail for allegedly killing her.

Jackson County authorities said a key witness provided a new tip on what happened to Alicia Sidie, 27, of Hatfield.

On Saturday night, her ex-husband Doug led investigators through a heavily-wooded area, to the place where he allegedly dumped her body.

He’s being held without bond on possible charges of first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse, and obstructing police.

Sheriff Duane Waldera would not say what caused Alicia’s death, pending the results of an autopsy in Madison.

Jackson County District Attorney Gerald Fox said all the pertinent evidence has been recovered including a key item found by a searcher and another item found by a sheriff’s diver.

The victim’s body was just east of a 1,200 acre search area where divers, pilots officers and hundreds of volunteers spent almost a week looking for her.

Her 39-year-old ex-husband reported her missing a week ago Saturday, one day after she left following an argument.

There were reports the two were getting back together, and Doug Sidie told officers as recently as Wednesday he didn’t know where she had gone.

On Thursday, the searchers were all told to go home, as the investigation took a more criminal tone. At the time, we were told that the State Crime Lab was categorizing evidence inside the house.
