A Colorado man suspected in a pair of cold cases, including the 1989 killing of a young woman and the sexual assault of another, which occurred more than three decades ago in the same Arizona apartment complex has been arrested, authorities said Tuesday.
Police reports tell the chilling story, in bland language:
âUnit two was northbound on South Dobson Road just south of Southern Avenue in lane number two. Unit one, a pedestrian, was crossing in the crosswalk against the light from west to east.Â
âThis crosswalk has a traffic light but the signal was green for northbound traffic. The pedestrian crossed the street in the darkness of night and was struck by unit two going northbound.Â
âThe pedestrian was taken to Banner Desert Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.â
The average road vehicle weighs about 4,000 pounds with top speeds of around 120 mph.
