This story gives me hope for all the other cold cases waiting to be solved.

More than a quarter-century after Jeffrey Hammill's body was found alongside a Wright County highway, three men were charged Monday in his death.
Ronald J. Michaels, 51, of Blaine, and Terry L. Olson, 46, of Andover, were indicted on first-degree murder charges; Dale L. Todd, 45, of Winsted, Minn., was charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of Hammill, a 21-year-old machinist who worked in Plymouth.

Hammill of Buffalo was fatally beaten, apparently early on Aug. 11, 1979, but the case received scant attention and the investigation languished.
The investigation was revived in 2001 when the victim's daughter, who had been adopted as an infant by another family, contacted county authorities looking for information about her birth father.

He said that the suspects, who had been interviewed in 1979, were interviewed again in 2003 but that their recollections of the events no longer matched. "Unfortunately, people can remember the truth, but not their lies," he said

Kelly said the three accused men appeared "perplexed" in their bail hearing Monday.
