An arrest has been made in the 1989 homicide of Sarah DeLeon, an 18-year-old who was found stabbed to death in Kansas City, Kan., police said today.
A woman was arrested for the 1989 homicide of DeLeon at about 3 p.m. Oct. 19, police said.
She was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service in Clay County, Mo., and is being held on a $1 million bond, according to a Kansas City, Kan., police spokesman.
DeLeon’s body was found Dec. 29, 1989, along railroad tracks near I-435 and Wolcott Drive in the western part of Kansas City, Kan., police said.
Her car was discovered the night before under I-70 on 78th Street in Kansas City, Kan., according to police.
