Marissa Harvey

A man has been sentenced to life in prison for strangling 15-year-old Marissa Harvey in San Francisco in 1978. The sentencing, reported by the New York Times, closes a decades-old cold case that went unsolved for nearly half a century before investigators identified the killer. Details of how the case was cracked have not been widely reported, but the outcome is drawing attention as an example of long-delayed justice in a decades-old killing.
