A Florida man was arrested Wednesday for the 1998 murder of a consignment store worker after he reportedly submitted his fingerprints for a job application—and the prints were found to have matched those recovered from the crime scene.

According to WFLA, Todd Barket, 51, was apprehended in Brandon in connection with the slaying of Sondra Better, 68. Better was working at Lu Shay’s Consignment Shop in Delray Beach when someone came in and reportedly stabbed and bludgeoned her to death.

Fingerprints found on a decorative ball reportedly went unidentified for two decades before they were linked to Barket, who had submitted his prints for a potential job in December 2018.
