After nearly two decades, a Georgia cold case sees a major break with the arrest of the victim's husband. Here's Crime Online correspondent Sydney Sumner with how investigators unravel the mystery. In Douglas, Georgia, authorities have arrested 58-year-old John Worrell for the 2006 murder of his wife, Doris Worrell.

At the time, John claimed he found Doris fatally shot at their business, John's Sports Park, after returning from errands, and the killing was initially believed to be a robbery gone wrong. But over time, evidence mounted pointing to John, who fled to Costa Rica with the family's live-in nanny, Paola Yarberry, with whom he'd been having an affair.

In 2008, two employees were briefly charged in connection to the killing, but the case stalled due to lack of evidence. That changed in April when investigators traveled to Costa Rica and spoke with Yarberry, who was no longer in a relationship with Worrell. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, her new statements corroborated longstanding suspicions that John Worrell wanted his wife dead rather than risk losing custody of their children in a divorce.

Worrell was arrested in Maryville, Missouri, waived extradition, and is now in custody in Coffey County without bond. Doris' sister, Leanne Tuggle, thanked law enforcement for their persistence, calling her sister a devoted mother whose generosity may have been what ultimately led to her death.

Authorities have not yet determined who pulled the trigger. One previous suspect has died, and another is recently out of prison on unrelated charges. Investigators say Yarberry is not considered a suspect. Thanks, John. Mom Deborah Garcia makes plans to celebrate her son Benjamin Repose's seventh birthday at her boyfriend's home after work.
