An unused, unstamped train ticket helped lead to charges against a Seattle man in the abduction and killing of a 7-year-old Illinois girl in 1957.
Prosecutors in northern Illinois' DeKalb County charged Jack Daniel McCullough, 71, on Friday with murdering Maria Ridulph, who was last seen playing with a friend near her home in Sycamore, about 50 miles west of Chicago. Mushroom hunters found Maria's remains five months later in a wooded area about 100 miles from her hometown.
McCullough claimed he took the train from Rockford, Ill., to Chicago the day of the abduction.

Last year, police re-interviewed a woman who dated McCullough in 1957 and asked her to look for pictures and other items of their time together, the Seattle newspaper reported, citing the court documents filed this week.
This degenerate was a transplant.
Something lures them here.
An unfortunate side effect of Freedom.
Sounds like something out of a police novel.
Washington sure has had more than its share of killers; and especially serial killers.
