Detectives solve 1968 killing of World War II veteran who became milkman, Florida sheriff saysVERO BEACH, Fla. — More than five decades after a World War II veteran was slain while working as a milkman in Florida, investigators say they’ve solved the case thanks to two people who came forward after the killer died.

Grayam, a decorated World War II veteran who received a Purple Heart, had become “a beloved milkman” after settling in Indian River County after the war, authorities said. “She said that Mr. Grayam engaged them in conversation, and announced that he would be back shortly,” Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers said. The two unidentified men and Grayam all left in the milk truck, he said.

During a search of the area by ground and by air, the milk truck and Graham’s body were spotted by an airplane.
