'Sweet' 20-Year-Old Was Raped, Killed in Calif. Home — Married Neighbor Is Arrested 40 Years Later

Robin Brooks may have been stalked before her death, say police

Police in Sacramento, California, have arrested the former neighbor of a woman who was found murdered in her apartment 40 years ago.

“She worked at the donut shop that was right near the [apartment] complex,” retired Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Sergeant Michaela Links tells PEOPLE. “I’m assuming that he may have seen her there or somewhere in the apartment complex.”“We have no information that they were ever seen together, or knew each other,” she says. “She was 20 years old and he was 31 at the time.

The following morning, friends knocked on her door but there was no answer. When she didn’t show up to work at 4 p.m., her friends returned to her ground-floor apartment and asked the landlord to let them in.for PEOPLE’s free True Crime newsletter for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases.

“I’m not convinced that Robin was his first crime, violent crime,” she says. “His description is pretty distinct just because of the size. He’s 6’4″, 300 pounds. So that may also help us find some other cases if he’s done anything else.”
