A 62-year-old man has been indicted in connection with a 1985 murder in Middletown, Ohio. Randy McCallister was indicted by a Warren County grand jury last week in the death of John Warren, an auto parts company representative who was killed while traveling for work.
Case Details
According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Warren was staying at a Holiday Inn in Middletown on Oct. 16, 1985, while attending business meetings. The following day, investigators found Warren dead inside his hotel room. Authorities said several of Warren’s personal belongings, along with his 1985 Oldsmobile, had been stolen.
Warren’s stolen vehicle was eventually found in Redington Beach, Florida, on the Gulf Coast, nearly 1,000 miles from Middletown. Authorities said evidence collected from all three locations was submitted for laboratory analysis. Investigators later used that evidence to identify McCallister as a suspect in the case.
McCallister faces charges of aggravated murder and murder. If convicted as charged, authorities say he could face a sentence of 20 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
