COLUMBIA — Two Columbia police detectives are headed to Georgia to interview a murder suspect who was recently arrested on a 24-year-old warrant.
Sixty-five-year-old Johnny Wright is accused of the 1976 murder of former MU student Rebecca Doisy. The 23-year-old waitress disappeared in August 1976 and was last seen with Wright.
