Genetic genealogy solves yet another cold case. The killer got what he deserved when he died in a car crash in 1985. He was a serial killer:
Ralph Howell, of Roselawn, who died in an automobile crash in 1985, was posthumously indicted Thursday on charges of aggravated murder and rape.
Thompson went missing on March 24, 1978, after leaving her home on Wooster Pike, according to the Ohio attorney general's office. News reports at the time said she was supposed to meet her boyfriend at Gatsby’s disco, which was located at 3225 Madison Road in Oakley. She didn’t show up.
Two weeks later, an Ohio Department of Natural Resources employee found Thompson's body in Loveland, in a secluded area about 20 feet from the river, The Enquirer reported. The coroner ruled her death a homicide by means of strangulation and blunt force trauma. It was also determined that she had been raped, prosecutors said.
