Authorities arrest Los Angeles man for 1984 murder in Northern California

A 59-year-old man was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with murder in connection with a brutal 1984 killing in the Sacramento Valley.

The Placer County District Attorney’s Office announced this week that 59-year-old Richard Raymond Moore was arrested and charged with the murder of 69-year-old Madeline Garcia.

In 1984, Garcia was attacked, dragged into the alley in the 300 block of Atlantic Street in Roseville and killed, according to prosecutors.

A decade-long investigation led authorities to Moore in Los Angeles. On June 27, Moore was arrested by Los Angeles Police Department officers and FBI agents and transported to Placer County.

Moore has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 22.
