A woman's ex-boyfriend has been arrested for her murder 32 years after she was found shot to death in her car in Missouri.
Leon P. Lamb, 52, was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action for the murder of Mischelle Lawless, who died at the age of 19 in November 1992.
Lawless' case was reopened in June 2023 and 18 months later, investigators gathered enough evidence to bring an indictment against Lamb.
The ex-boyfriend was arrested in Conway, Arkansas, and is being held without bond.
He was the last person to see Lawless and the pair had an on-and-off-again relationship, according to The Standard-Democrat.
Another man, Josh Kezer, was charged and convicted for the crime in 1994, but was later acquitted in 2009.
He was convicted after Mark Abbott testified he saw Kezer at a payphone near the exit ramp.
Several jailhouse witnesses also testified he had confessed to the murder at party, where Chantelle Crider, said she saw him arguing with Lawless the week before, according to Southeast Missourian.
