HTN: 1975 Cold Case Cracked

The man accused of killing a young Buffalo girl back in 1975 has been indicted. Prosecutors say 55-year-old Bernard Thomas faces charges of intentional murder and two counts of murder while committing sex crimes. Authorities say Thomas sexually assaulted 19-year-old Michelle Dixon before shooting her to death 34 years ago. Thomas entered a not guilty plea Tuesday and his lawyer says he will try to work out a plea deal. Cops say they cracked the case when the victim's family called to inquire if the case was reopened. That's when the Cold Case Squad ran a DNA sample and Thomas came up a match. Police say he had always been the prime suspect. Thomas' rap sheet includes 56 arrests. He was ordered held without bail.
