Antonio Planas is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.

A 64-year-old Missouri woman with a history of mental illness has been declared innocent by a judge for a murder that she has spent more than four decades behind bars for and that some now suspect a former police officer of. Sandra Hemme's innocence in the November 12, 1980, slaying of Patricia Jeschke in St. Joseph, Missouri, is “clear and convincing” the judge ruled last week.

'Fellow police officer Michael Holman, who was found using the victim’s credit card the day after the murder; whose truck was seen parked near the victim’s home at the time she was killed; in whose closet the victim’s earrings were discovered; and who in the months before and after Ms. Jeschke’s murder, committed many other crimes against women,' The Innocence Project said in a statement. St. Joseph police were not immediately reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
