   Shades of Bill Clinton.  A lot of rapists in Arkansas.   
      
   A truck driver has been arrested in the cold-case rape and   
   murder of a 21-year-old woman in Colorado nearly 40 years ago,   
   officials announced Monday.   
      
   Investigators in Douglas County, Colo., said they were able to   
   link James Curtis Clanton, 62, of Lake Butler, Fla., to the   
   murder of Helene Pruszynski in Englewood using DNA and   
   genealogical testing.   
      
   Clanton was arrested in Union County, Fla., and extradited to   
   Colorado.   
      
   "This was a young girl who was just starting her life," Douglas   
   County Sheriff Tony Spurlock told a news conference.   
      
   She was found stabbed to death a day after she was kidnapped and   
   sexually assaulted, officials said. The body turned up on Jan.   
   16, 1980.   
      
   The Pruszynski murder investigation went cold a year after the   
   crime, officials added. It was reopened in 1998 before it went   
   cold again.   
      
   Douglas County District Attorney George Brauchler described the   
   conversation he had with Pruszynski’s only living relative, a   
   sister, informing her of the arrest.   
      
   “The emotions are as raw in some way as they were 40 years ago,”   
   he told a news conference. “I think that is the kind of phone   
   call that at some point you don’t expect to get.”   
      
   The prosecutor described Pruszynski as a “sweet and innocent”   
   young woman.   
      
   She had moved to Colorado to work as an intern at a Denver radio   
   station two weeks before she was killed. Pruszynski made the   
   move after growing up in Massachusetts and going to college   
   there. She was living in Englewood with an aunt and uncle.   
      
   Spurlock said Pruszynski wanted to become a journalist.   
      
   Investigators said she apparently was abducted after she got off   
   a bus after work.   
      
   Spurlock said that at the time of the murder, Clanton had just   
   moved to Colorado from Arkansas. He said Clanton was working as   
   a landscaper.   
      
   Clanton served four years in prison for an Arkansas rape and was   
   released in 1979, an arrest affidavit showed.   
      
   The court record indicated that Clanton was known then by   
   another name, Curtis Alan White.   
      
   Spurlock said Clanton legally changed his name years later.
