Pennsylvania Councilman Charged In Lover's 1979 Death

A Pennsylvania councilman has been arrested and charged with strangling his young lover in a cold case that has haunted investigators for more than three decades.

 Bridgewater Councilman Gregory Scott Hopkins, 65, was arrested Sunday in connection with the 1979 death of Catherine Janet Walsh, 23, in Beaver County, Pa., about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

 Investigators said they were able to use DNA technology that was not available at the time of the crime to link Hopkins to evidence from the scene.
