"50-Year Cold Case of WWII Veteran Milkman's Murder in Florida Finally Solved"

The 1968 murder of second world war veteran and beloved milkman Hiram "Ross" Grayam in Florida has been solved 56 years later, with investigators attributing the breakthrough to witnesses who came forward after the prime suspect, Thomas J Williams, had died. Williams had confessed to the murder before his death, and his ex-wife and a friend of his sister provided crucial information to investigators. Grayam's family had initially reported him missing when he failed to return home after work, and his body was later found next to his milk truck with multiple gunshot wounds. Detectives are now seeking information about the second man seen with Grayam before his murder.
