Rape and murder. Two of the most horrific crimes one can commit, so it’s small wonder they stay open essentially forever. Unless the one who committed the crimes is apprehended, even if it takes decades. Or in this case four of them and change.<\/p>\n
In most articles about crime, any prior military service regardless of when or conditions of discharge, is immediately showcased as if this had anything to do with the crime committed. This is not the case here. Anderson’s Marine service placed him near the scene and time of the crime. Modern forensics and plain hard Police work did the rest. <\/p>\n
