Three notorious cold cases that finally heated up
A discarded cigarette butt helped crack the decades-old cold case killing of a Boeing instructor who was raped and strangled 44 years ago inside her Washington state home, according to authorities.
The 30-year-old aerospace company worker, who worked part-time at a pizza place, was last seen alive on Feb. 23 of that year. She was found dead during a welfare check three days later.
The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office, which was already investigating Kundert for a separate assault case, interviewed him at one point. During the interview, the suspect smoked cigarettes but put every one he puffed into his pocket when he was done, according to reports. By March, Kent police made the trip to Arkansas where they stealthy followed Kundert into a Walmart parking lot while he was smoking an all-white cigarette as he parked. He threw the cigarette butt, leading investigators to pick through the trash and find three all-white cigarette butts, according to the Seattle Times.
