Robert Mitchell Foust, 52, is now serving a minimum of 40 years in prison on a first-degree rape conviction, and was linked to the Morton case after authorities found a letter addressed to him as well as a receipt to the McDonald’s on Graham-Hopedale Road in Morton’s Dodge Intrepid, which was found in the Food Lion parking lot in Graham about two weeks after she disappeared.
