A body found in a Canadian river in 1975 has been identified as a Tennessee businesswoman—and cops say they found her killer in Florida.
Police say they have cracked a murder case that has been cold since 1975, using genealogical DNA tracing to identify a middle-aged woman found in a river and nab her alleged killer.
Authorities say her murderer is Rodney Nichols, 81, most recently of Hollywood, Florida. Langford reportedly spent time with him in Canada before she was killed, police said. That led them to Langford’s name and they learned that she was from Jackson, Tennessee, where she co-owned a health spa with her ex-husband and had won accolades from the business community.
Investigators learned that Langford went to Montréal in April 1975 and never returned home. She was reported missing but was never linked to the body found by a farmer in the Nation River later that year.
