The victim, who was found dead east of Ottawa in 1975, has been identified; 81-year-old man arrested
TORONTO — Ontario Provincial Police have cracked a decades-old cold case and identified a woman who was found dead in eastern Ontario 48 years ago, thanks to technology that uses DNA to find genetic matches.
Rodney Nichols, an 81-year-old man who resides in Hollywood, Fla., has been charged with murder, OPP said. Court documents obtained by the Canadian Press show that Nichols was charged in September with murdering Langford between April 22 and May 3, 1975. "While I cannot get into the specifics that will be entered at trial, I can tell you that the accused and the victim were known to each other."
Nadeau said the DNA data was sent to a lab in California where the DNA samples matched those collected from two individuals listed in a family DNA tree.
