HTN: Cold Case Cracked

The Buffalo Police Cold Case Squad has cracked a 15-year-old murder. A 91-year-old Buffalo woman, Mabel Neuner, was bludgeoned to death in her home, just before Christmas in 1993. Now, police have arrested 32-year-old John Butler of Buffalo. Butler was just 16-years-old at the time of the killing, but detectives say they now have the evidence they need to charge him in Neuner's murder. She was found dead in the basement of her home, which had also been ransacked. Butler is currently lodged in the Oneida County correctional facility on a parole violation for an unrelated crime.
