A Florida man who approached authorities claiming to possess crucial information about a 1987 cold case murder has been arrested and charged in connection with the very crime he offered to help solve. Michael Jon Green, 61, was taken into custody on Tuesday, suspected of the murder of Yvonne O'Brien, whose body was discovered decades ago in Palm Beach County.
The incident dates back to June 1987, when the remains of Yvonne O'Brien, then 30, were found near a deserted stretch of State Road 80. Investigators at the time were unable to identify a suspect, and the case grew cold despite extensive efforts. O'Brien had reportedly been last seen leaving a local bar, and her death was ruled a homicide.
