36-year cold case solved in France

Grenoble – French prosecutors said on Thursday they had cracked a 36-year-old cold case after charging a man with the murder of a young woman who disappeared in a small Alpine town in the 1980s.

Marie-Therese Bonfanti, a 25-year-old mother of two, went missing while delivering newspapers and her body was never found. Local prosecutor Eric Vaillant said a man had been charged and had “confessed to having killed her” while in custody. –
