Suspect arrested in 1998 killing of pregnant woman featured on Toronto police podcast

Toronto police have arrested and charged a man with first-degree murder 26 years after a pregnant woman was strangled and found dead at a parking lot.

Authorities attributed the arrest of 50-year-old Ronald Gordon Ackerman of Gander, Newfoundland, last week to DNA evidence and recent calls for information through a YouTube video and the Toronto Police Service podcast that features cold cases.

Police arrested Ackerman on Thursday at the Toronto Pearson Airport and charged him with first-degree murder. Authorities didn't provide any additional details and Ackerman was remanded in custody in Toronto.
