A Florida man scored a new job in January, but he ended up behind bars two months later in connection with a 1998 cold case murder - thanks to his successful application. Todd Barket, 51, was arrested Wednesday on a first-degree murder charge after authorities linked his fingerprints to the murder of Sondra Better, Delray Beach police said. The 68-year-old woman was working at a consignment shop when she was stabbed and bludgeoned to death in August 1998, the Sun-Sentinel reported. He submitted his fingerprints that match those taken from the 1998 crime scene and placed in a national database. Barket was 29 years old at the time of the murder and matched the description witnesses gave after the slaying, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
