Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office announced it has made a break in a decades-old cold case murder out of Prescott.
PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office announced it has solved a decades-old murder case out of Prescott, which is now believed to be one of multiple attacks by the same man.
The 23-year-old college student was found murdered along Thumb Butte Trail near Prescott on June 13, 1987. She reportedly rode her mountain bike to the trailhead around 7 a.m. and began hiking up the path. In 2017, with the improvement of DNA testing, Sposito's murder was linked to the April 1990 attack of a second victim in the same location by the same attacker.
