Fingerprint Leads to Arrest in San Diego Woman's 1987 Death

"Kevin Thomas Ford, now 62, was arrested at his home in St. Pauls, North Carolina in connection with the death of Grace Hayden, who was 79-year-old when she was sexually assaulted and strangled to death in her Normal Heights-area home on May 20, 1987."

It's been solved by a fingerprint, but was a cold case. If I chose the wrong board, please move.

I wonder how long he had been living in Robeson County? There are several unsolved murders there from over the years.

This is local for me. I had the same thought. This article just says that he hasn’t caused much trouble while living here, but doesn’t give a timeline of when he got here. Deputy explains call on key fingerprint | Robesonian

A neighbor said he has lived in St. Paul’s for 15-17 years. ‘He’s cold-hearted as hell’ | Robesonian

I wonder why no one ever reported the animal cruelty.
