Stark Makes Arrest In 2009 Cold Case Murder

Stark County law enforcement thinks they've cracked a cold case murder.

A man now faces aggravated murder charges in the 2009 death of a nurse at Canton's Aultman Hospital.

NewsChannel 5 reports that authorities had no trouble finding Kenneth Roth - he was already behind bars at Elkton Correctional Institution on federal weapons charges.

Roth was indicted in late 2009 for the murder of Linda Smith earlier that year, who was found strangled in her home on Osnaburg Township.

Roth faces the new charges after a cold case investigation was launched by Stark County Sheriff George Maier in 2013.
