CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) Police in Virginia have charged a man in the death of a mother of five last seen alive in 1996.
News outlets report that police announced John Howard, 62, of Hanover County, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge on Monday and arrested Tuesday. He’s charged in the death of 38-year-old Linda Lunsford of Amelia County, who was reported missing by her family on Dec. 26, 1996.
Lunsford disappeared after she and Howard, her former boyfriend, finished their shifts at Walmart in Chesterfield, according to the commonwealth’s attorney’s office. In 2009, police said Lunsford disappeared after having coffee with a coworker after her shift and her car was found in the same shopping center.

CLEARWATER After more than two decades, detectives have made an arrest in a sexual battery case.
They arrested 59-year-old Gregory Thompson Wednesday morning and took him to the Pinellas County jail, where he remains.
They say Thompson is the man who invaded a Dunedin woman s home in November of 1999 and assaulted her at knifepoint.
In 2020, detectives resubmitted DNA collected in 1999 to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Thompson s DNA was in the database from a prior conviction and forensics experts found a match.
In the original case, the sheriff s office says the victim left a door unlocked and Thompson hid inside, then attacked her when she returned.
