Murder leaves a print: Cigarette pack smokes out killer in 48-year-old California case

Nearly 48 years after the murder of a young woman in California, a thumbprint found on a cigarette pack has led to the arrest of the suspected killer. Willie Eugene Sims, 69, was arrested in Jefferson, Ohio, in connection with the 1977 strangulation of Jeanette Ralston, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said. Sims, who appeared in an Ashtabula County court on Friday, will be extradited to California to face murder charges.
