A man now dead is the suspect in two murders that happened in the 1960s and 1970s.

Two cold case murders are now solved. Police say Clarence Tappendorf, now dead himself, killed two teenagers in the 1960s and 1970s.

In 1966, police found 19-year-old Diane Olkwitz stabbed more than 100 times in a Menomonee Falls machine shop. Five years later, a similar crime. Terri Erdmann, 14, was found bound in a field on Milwaukee's northwest side, stabbed more than 60 times. Decades later, police named Clarence Tappendorf as the suspect.

"There is no statute of limitations in regards to homicide investigations," said Milwaukee police Chief Jeffrey Norman. "We will work on it, whether it's five years, 10 years or even 70 years, to bring closure, to bring a resolution, to these most heinous crimes."
