Decades-old ‘Nation River Lady’ cold case cracked, Florida man charged with murder

Ontario Provincial Police have cracked a decades-old cold case and identified a woman who was found dead in eastern Ontario 48 years ago, thanks to technology that uses DNA to find genetic matches.

Police say the woman, who was found dead east of Ottawa in 1975, has been identified as Jewell Parchman Langford.

Her identity was established with help from a lab in the United States that specializes in forensic genealogy, in what OPP said was the first use in Canada of such technology to identify a victim.

Rodney Nichols, an 81-year-old man who resides in Hollywood, Fla., has been charged with murder, OPP said.

“While the charge was formally laid before the court late last year, at the Ontario Court of Justice in L’Orignal, the OPP did not announce this publicly at the time,” police said.

“Prematurely sharing developments in the investigation could have jeopardized the investigation and ensuing court processes, including potential extradition from the United States.”
