An 84-year-old Man Was Arrested in Minnesota for a Woman’s Murder More Than 50 Years Ago

EXCERPT:

FUJII (voice-over): "Jon Miller was sentenced to life yesterday for killing Mary Schlais back in 1974. Prosecutors say he picked her up while she was hitchhiking to an art show in Chicago, and when she denied his sexual advances, he stabbed her, dumping her body in a snowbank. For decades, her death went unsolved until new technology allowed investigators to test DNA on a hat found at the scene. The DNA identified Miller. And during questioning by investigators, a stunning moment: Miller admitted the hat was his."
