67-year-old man sentenced to life in prison for 1986 slaying of Escondido retiree [Breaking]
A 67-year-old man was sentenced Friday to 15 years to life in prison for fatally stabbing a retiree in the victim’s Escondido apartment in 1986 — a cold case police said was solved through DNA, fingerprints and advances in photography.
Finney, 75, was a retired traveling salesman and Army veteran. He was partially paralyzed from a stroke, but fought back against his assailant, Manning said. The attacker took about $300, a ring and a few other items, including a robe, a mustache trimmer and bars of soap. In 2007, a cold case investigator delved into the case and arranged for the DNA and palm-print evidence to be run through databases. The prints yielded nothing, but the DNA revealed a mixture of two people — the victim and, presumably, his killer. However, the DNA database turned up no hits.
