   A 79-year-old Missouri man was arrested Monday in connection to the   
   stabbing murder of an 18-year-old Illinois woman in 1966, according to the   
   Cook County State Attorney's office.   
      
   Karen Snider was found dead at her home in Calumet City by her husband on   
   Nov. 12 1966. She had around 125 stab wounds to her chest, neck,   
   shoulders, arms, legs and head, as well as bruises on her face and hands,   
   and multiple fractured ribs, per an autopsy, authorities said.   
      
   James Barbier was initially arrested for Snider's murder in 1966, but   
   never charged. Authorities did not share what motive Barbier would have to   
   kill Snider, but said he was friends with the victim and her husband at   
   the time.   
      
   Barbier returned to his home in Gary, Indiana the night of the murder,   
   where his wife was with their young child.   
      
   "The defendant arrived home and appeared nervous and was observed by her   
   to have cuts on him, blood on him and blood on his clothes," the state   
   attorney's office said. "The defendant went inside their home right away,   
   took off his clothes and put them in the washing machine." Barbier also   
   attended Snider's funeral with these cuts still visible on him.   
      
   In 2022, the Calumet City Police Department reopened the case and sent   
   items from the scene, including the victim's dress and a blood-stained   
   bedsheet, for forensic testing. All of the evidence sent for testing came   
   back positive for Barbier's DNA, which was obtained by detectives in March   
   2023 by way of buccal swab.   
      
   An arrest warrant was issued for Barbier last week, and he was arrested   
   Monday at his Missouri home. He was extradited to Illinois Wednesday. It's   
   not clear if Barbier has an attorney at this time.   
      
   The state is not filing a petition to detain Barbier pending trial due to   
   his age, "physical infirmity, and recent caselaw on this pointed issue   
   concerning the Pretrial Fairness Act and of posing 'a real and present   
   threat,'" the state attorney's office said.   
      
   "However, we are asking for maximum conditions that would include   
   reporting in person, as well as to be physically present at each of his   
   court dates."   
      
   Barbier had a detention hearing on Thursday, NBC Chicago reported. It's   
   not clear when he will next appear in court.
