DA: Minnesota man charged in 1991 Pennsylvania slaying
State police and a county prosecutor say they've arrested a Minnesota man on charges he killed a 76-year-old western Pennsylvania woman nearly 25 years ago.
But Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty and police aren't revealing the suspect's name or other details until a news conference Friday.
Rock County, Minnesota Sheriff Evan Verbrugge says he's not aware of any such arrest. His office patrols Magnolia, Minnesota, the tiny town of roughly 200 people where the Pennsylvania authorities say the suspect is from.
Dougherty says the 61-year-old suspect fired two shots through a window that killed Myrtle McGill in the kitchen of her White Township home. Her body was found Dec. 13, 1991, but authorities believe she died several days before.
Authorities say her car was stolen, but nothing else.
