TL;DR Summary

Donald Michael Santini, who had been on the run since 1984, was arrested in California for the murder of Cynthia Ruth Wood in Florida. Wood's body was found in a drainage ditch five days after she went missing, and Santini's fingerprints were found on her body. A tip from the Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force led U.S. Marshals to Campo, where Santini was arrested. The arrest allows authorities to reexamine evidence collected in 1984 using today's technology.
