CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) - After half a century, police in New Hampshire have finally solved a Concord cold case.

Judy Lord was 22 years old when she was found strangled to death at her apartment in 1975, with her 20-month-old son also inside.

Now, 50 years later, Attorney General John Formella says a review of her case and new DNA testing have determined that she was killed by her neighbor, Ernest Theodore Gable.

Gable will not face justice in this case because he was killed in 1987 in Los Angeles.
