More than six decades after a 14-year-old girl was found dead in the woods near her family's Ohio home, authorities say they are one step closer to identifying her killer. The girl's sister, who was just 5 at the time of the murder, recently worked with a forensic artist to create a composite sketch of the suspect that law enforcement hopes will trigger memories and new tips from anyone who might recognize him.
Nancy Eagleson was last seen walking home from the local movie theater with her sister, Sheryl, on Nov. 13, 1960, the Ohio attorney general's office wrote in a description of her cold case. They stopped for a soda along the way at a restaurant in the area of Paulding, where they lived, and at that point were only a few minutes' walk from their house. It was just after 7 p.m.
A white man wearing dark glasses stopped his car as the sisters walked down a stretch of Route 111, a main highway, and asked if they needed a ride home. When Eagleson declined, authorities say the man forced her into the car and drove off, after pushing her young sister aside. Eagleson's body was found the next day in a wooded area about eight miles from the site of the abduction. She had been shot and sexually assaulted.
