Mildred Matheny hardly left the house where she lived with her sister.
The 78-year-old had dementia and needed help picking out her clothes.
But on April 27, 1985, the retired nurse wandered off. Witnesses said
they saw her near a Burger King, getting into an Oldsmobile with a man
who claimed he was a neighbor lending her a ride home, officials say.
She was found naked on a dirt road, beaten bloody, her pink pajamas
and dentures strewn nearby. She died in a hospital.
For more than 35 years, her killing in coastal South Florida went
unpunished. Her son said he gave up hope, even when authorities said
they were working the cold case. Then on Friday, police said DNA from
the victim’s sexual assault kit had matched with a 61-year-old man in
Boynton Beach, Fla.
Richard Curtis Lange is now charged with kidnapping, rape and murder,
the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced. He was 25 at the
time of the alleged crimes.

Thankfully law enforcement caught this killer. Dangerous people like
this need to be in prison,but at least give him some credit. He
treated the old broad to a good time before killing her.
