Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office announced it has solved a decades-old murder case out of Prescott, which is now believed to be one of multiple attacks by the same man.

On Friday, officials announced Catherine "Cathy" Sposito was killed 36 years ago by a man named Bryan "Scott" Bennett from Kentucky, who attended high school in Prescott.

The 23-year-old college student was found murdered along Thumb Butte Trail near Prescott on June 13, 1987. Shortly after she started her hike, other hikers heard her screams for help, but could not get to her in time.
