AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Police have arrested a former Maine man on a charge of murder after DNA linked him to the 1976 stabbing death of a 70-year-old woman.

Police said Tuesday that 63-year-old Gary Raub - who was known as Gary Wilson in 1976 - was arrested Monday night in Seattle. He was charged in the death of Blanche Kimball, whose body was found inside her Augusta home on June 12, 1976.

Police found Kimball's body after neighbors reported she hadn't been seen for several days. She died from multiple stab wounds.

Two detectives flew to Seattle on Monday and arrested Raub with help from Seattle police. Extradition proceedings are expected to begin Tuesday or Wednesday.

Police say it's the oldest cold case murder in Maine in which an arrest has been made.
