Suspect in 26-year-old attempted rape case fatally shoots himself

BOONE COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) — Officials have released new details in a 26-year-old cold case we first reported on last week.

The suspect at the center of the attempted rape is now dead.

Authorities say Todd Richardson, 50, shot himself in front of U.S. Marshals.

DNA technology linked Richardson to the 1990 cold case in Lebanon.

Richardson was arrested in late January in the case and was out on bond when he killed himself.

Investigators say the cold case is now closed.
