Cold case solved 60 years after Ohio woman's dismembered remains found by fishermen

In June of 1964, a fisherman made a grisly discovery at a gravel pit in western Ohio — a severed human arm. Four days later, another fisherman found a burlap bag in a nearby canal which contained a torso. Eventually, a human head and a leg were discovered in the same waterway. The remains were identified as those of 43-year old Daisy Shelton of Dayton -- and now, 40 years later, authorities have officially declared the cold case solved.

After initially denying even knowing Shelton, officials said he eventually acknowledged that a box from his house 'was used to carry the body parts of Shelton' and 'it was possible that Shelton was killed in his home.' He claimed that he was being set up by the eyewitness of the crime but admitted he 'looked guilty and could possibly be convicted in court,' the sheriff's office said.
