Wow.

In round numbers.... If he's 71, he was born in 1942, and if she was 7 in 1957, she was born in 1950.

That means he was 15 or so when he kidnapped and murdered her. Right? That seems pretty odd, but I guess it's possible.

I’d guess it’ll be hard to get a conviction after so long. If he was only a suspect back then let’s hope they have some good evidence.

An arrest warrant in the amount of $3 million..

That means what? $3 million bail?

Here’s something from the story that’s surprising

“After serving in the military, McCullough worked at the Lacey Police Department as an officer in the 1970s, said Ed Sorger, the chief of police at Evergreen State College.

Sorger and McCullough, known to him as Tessier, worked together at the police department.

“I was very surprised upon hearing this. It simply didn’t fit,” Sorger told CNN affiliate KING-TV in Seattle.

Sorger was surprised that a background check didn’t turn up something on McCullough.

“We all went through that process,” he said.

Victim’s family knew man charged in 1957 murder of Sycamore girl

[Atlantan]

I grew up in Cicero, Ill., near Chicago, and I remember a number of children’s murders in the 1950’s—the Grimes sisters, the Schultz brothers and Mary Ann Anderson. But I don’t remember this murder. Very sad.

"We hope that the family of Maria Ridulph and this community can find some solace and closure with this arrest."

The only acceptable "closure" is this man's death.
