A 45-year-old man was arrested in Indiana on Monday in connection to the 1998 Pontiac murder of 73-year-old Charles Barnett.

According to the Oakland County Sheriffs Office, Jack Anthony Young, who was 18 years old at the time, broke into Barnetts home 27 years ago, on April 30, 1998.

Officials say Barnett surprised Young when he returned home and was shot and killed. The sheriffs office says Young then stole Barnetts car and crashed it. When police were called to investigate the crash, they reportedly traced it back to Barnetts home, where they found his body.

Officials say the investigation trail went cold until Oakland County Sheriffs Sgt. Todd Hunt and retired Lt. Steve Troy reopened the case and were able to link Young to the homicide after a review of the evidence.
