Authorities link inmate to 1976 Colorado murder

Colorado Springs police say they have linked an inmate in Canon City to the slaying of an Antlers Plaza Hotel employee 36 years ago.

Police said Wednesday that 58-year-old Robert Baillie is suspected of killing Janet K. Conrad, who was found Dec. 3, 1976, in a laundry room of the hotel.

Investigators say a DNA analysis led to Baillie's arrest. He was already imprisoned in Canon City to serve a sentence for sexual assault. He was eligible for parole in January 2014.

It wasn't immediately known whether Baillie has a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
