LONGUEUIL, Quebec (AP) — Canadian police say they have solved one of the highest-profile cold cases in Quebec history. Police in Longueuil, Quebec, say that DNA evidence allows them to be 100% certain that Franklin Maywood Romine murdered 16-year-old Sharron Prior in 1975. The body of Romine, who died in 1982 at the age of 36, was exhumed from a West Virginia cemetery in early May for DNA testing intended to confirm his link to the crime.
