HTN: Guilty Plea in Cold Case

A former Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to a murder which happened 25 years ago. The Buffalo Cold Case Squad tracked down 56-year-old Edward Richardson at a jail in Seattle. Cops used DNA technology to link him to the death of 89-year-old Alma Strasner in April of 1984. Investigators say Richardson broke into Strasner's Willowlawn Street home, raping and killing her when she confronted him. Richardson admitted to the crime yesterday and faces 18 years to life behind bars when sentenced in March.
