Richard Vega, 59, was indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury in late August. The defendant was formally charged in early September with the cold case murder of 21-year-old Judy Chamberlain, who was sexually assaulted and then killed inside the former Fargo Building which is now an urban renewal site known as the Boston Seaport.
Judy Chamberlain was found strangled in the basement of the former Fargo Building at 451 D Street in what is now the city's Seaport District on July 28, 1988.
