Cold Case Solved: Arrest Made in 1974 Murder of Hitchhiking Woman
Fifty years after the tragic murder of a woman who was hitchhiking towards a Chicago art show, investigators have made a breakthrough. An 84-year-old man from Owatonna, Minnesota, identified as Jon Miller, has been charged with her murder in Dunn County, Wisconsin. The cold case was cracked thanks to advanced genetic testing, which linked DNA from a hat found at the scene to Miller. This significant development brings closure to a long-standing investigation into the death of the Minneapolis woman who was found in the snow in 1974.
