A Loogootee man was arrested for a murder that happened over 30 years ago.
59 year old Larry Padgett Jr. was arrested March 2, accused of killing 23 year old Mary Willfong on November 21, 1989.
Tips to Investigators put Willfong in Forest Park, Georgia at a Farmers market.
She was seen getting into a tractor-trailer with a man.
The case went cold after several suspects were questioned.
Deer hunters found her body in a Georgia forest.
The case was re-opened in 2019 by a different investigator.
DNA that was taken from Mary Willfong, eventually led to Padgett.
He allegedly sexually assaulted the victim.
Padgett is in the Daviess County Jail until he can be transported back to Georgia.
