A man convicted of raping and killing a woman 36 years ago on Minnesota’s Iron Range has been sentenced to life in prison.
Michael Carbo Jr., of Chisholm, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder while committing criminal sexual conduct in the 1986 slaying of 38-year-old Nancy Daugherty, also of Chisholm.
The case was eventually revived by genealogy database analysts. A jury convicted the 54-year-old Carbo in August.
Daugherty was found dead in her home in 1986, by police conducting a welfare check.
Investigators over the years interviewed and collected DNA from more than 100 people but were unable to find a solid lead.
Carbo will be eligible for parole after serving 17 years.
