The local sheriff announced the news on Saturday and hopes with the arrest that the next of kin of the victim “can close this chapter now.” “Diane’s family has been left with many questions over the years,” said a statement.
Diane’s lifeless body was found on October 10, 1977 at The Chicken House eatery in Golden Meadow, a town along the south coast. She was 32 years old. Vegas was then also accused of killing her by shooting the woman in the back, but there was no answer and the man went free. At the insistence of Diane’s family, the case was reopened last year.
According to the police, ‘new information’ has now led to the arrest of the man. What exactly is still unclear. The suspect has already been released, having paid $50,000 bail. The man has been charged with manslaughter and will later appear in court.
