Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: Teen girl found raped, strangled on riverbank. CASE CRACKED BY CAR CRASH YEARS LATER

Cheryl Thompson left her Ohio home to meet her boyfriend at a bar in Oakley. She never made it.

A state natural resources officer found Thompson’s body along the bank of the Little Miami River. The 19-year-old had been raped and died of asphyxia caused by strangulation.

The search for Thompson’s killer went on for more than 40 years and now thanks to DNA, a link was found to a man that may have been responsible for three other murders in Ohio.
