Authorities have finally made an arrest in a tragic and fatal crime from nearly three decades ago.
The arrest occurred thanks to a chance viewing of a 1998 episode of the long-running crime-fighting television series, “America’s Most Wanted.”
Tuesday on Facebook, the Des Moines Police Department in Des Moines, Iowa, posted a video announcing a major breakthrough in the hit-and-run death of 64-year-old Leslie Ruby, who was killed on Sept. 29, 1997, while riding his lawnmower outside his Des Moines home.
Sgt. Paul Parizek of the Des Moines Police appeared in the video, along with Ruby’s granddaughter, Shonna.
“I didn’t have my dad in my life, so he was my dad,” Shonna said of her late grandfather.
