The identity of the woman, Lalla Jewel Langford, 48, would not be known to authorities until 2021.
An 81-year-old South Florida man has been ordered by a judge to be sent to Canada where he’s charged with the fatal strangling of an American woman nearly 50 years ago in one of the country’s oldest and most infamous cold cases.
Now the U.S. Department of State must certify the surrender order before Nichols can be legally extradited to Canada. “Canadian authorities then advised Nichols that he had admitted to the murder of Langford and that he could be charged,” the complaint says. After consulting with a legal aid lawyer in Canada, Nichols told investigators that “he had an altercation with Langford that started in his home in Montreal, and that he subsequently dumped her body in the Nation River.
Police said Langford’s case marked the first time that Canadian authorities used genetic forensic technology to identify a victim. Other methods of identification, including creating a 3D facial approximation of her in 2017, were tried but had no success. A May 1975 autopsy report by Canadian authorities “revealed two fracture injuries to the victim’s larynx,” and then a coroner’s report concluded that the “cause of death was strangulation by ligature of the neck.”
