Authorities in Clear Creek County, Colorado have arrested a suspect in the 1982 cold-case murder of a Racine woman.

29-year-old Barbara "Bobbie Jo" Oberholtzer's body was found in the Rocky Mountains almost four decades ago.

Investigators say D-N-A evidence finally led them to take 70-year-old Alan Lee Phillips into custody this week.

He is charged with two counts each of first-degree kidnapping, assault, and homicide.

He is also accused of killing a second woman, 21-year-old Annette Schnee, in that same part of the state.

Oberholtzer and Schnee had been shot to death.
