A job application that required a Florida man to undergo a background check and submit his fingerprints has led to a break in a 1998 slaying case
Todd Barket, a 51-year-old from Brandon, was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Sondra Better. Better was killed at her workplace days before she was set to renew her wedding vows, according to local news outlets.
"We had fingerprints, we had blood, we even had a possible description from a witness. But the person responsible for this heinous case seemed to just disappear," Acting Delray Beach Police Chief Javaro Sims said at a Wednesday news conference. Detectives and Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents then tracked him down and began monitoring him. Police later obtained Barket's DNA — it's unclear how — and it was matched on Tuesday with DNA from the crime scene.
