Authorities say they've identified a man they believe killed a World War II veteran who worked as a milkman in a Florida cold case that dates back 56 years
More than five decades after a World War II veteran was slain while working as a milkman in Florida, investigators say they've solved the case thanks to two people who came forward after the killer died. Hiram “Ross” Grayam was delivering milk in April 1968 and failed to return home after work. Deputies later found his body and his milk truck deep in the woods in the Vero Beach area, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. He had been shot several times.
Grayam's family didn't realize anything had happened, “except my father was a little late in coming home, and then a sheriff's deputy, an investigator showed up,” Grayam’s son Larry, who was 16 at the time, told the TV station. During a search of the area by ground and by air, the milk truck and Graham's body were spotted by an airplane. “When they arrived at the initial scene, Mr. Grayam was laying next to the milk truck with bullet wounds, killed execution style,” Flowers said.
