Authorities in southeast Texas say a 75-year-old Kansas City, Kansas, man has been arrested on a murder warrant in a nearly four decade old case.
Montgomery County, Texas Sheriff’s Lt. Scott Spencer said Thursday that Thomas Elvin Darnell was arrested Monday in Kansas. He says Darnell is now in the Montgomery County jail without bond in the 1983 death of Laura Purchase after DNA connected Darnell to the crime.
Jail records do not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Purchase’s slaying was one of hundreds confessed to, then recanted, by Henry Lee Lucas.
