Florida woman's 1994 murder solved after detectives dig up grave of former U.S. Marine

Florida detectives have solved the brutal 1994 murder of an 89-year-old woman after an investigation culminated in digging up the grave of a former U.S. Marine who once lived near the victim's home, authorities said Tuesday. 

The Broward Sheriff's Office announced they were finally able to close the 28-year-cold case of the murder of 89-year-old Lillian DeCloe, who was killed in her Pompano Beach home in April 1994. 

Authorities identified the killer as Johnny Mack Brown, a Vietnam War veteran who once lived a few houses away from DeCloe. Brown, who has been dead for over 10 years, struggled with PTSD and drug addiction, his family told the sheriff's office.
