Sheriff's office to give update on decades old NKY cold case

Investigators are expected to announce "significant developments" on Wednesday in the more than 40-year-old cold case of Carol Sue Klaber, the Boone County Sheriff's Office said.

Klaber, 16, left her parents' Fort Wright home around 5:30 p.m. on June 4, 1976 to have dinner at Zino's Hyde Park Restaurant, according to a 1977 Cincinnati Post article.

Her body was discovered 14 hours later in a ditch along Chambers Road about one-and-a-half miles east of U.S. Route 25 near Walton, Kentucky, the article states. She was beaten and strangled, with police at the time saying evidence pointed to her being killed at different location.

Klaber was a junior at Dixie Heights High School, where she played violin in the school's string ensemble, the Post reported. She was described as being "popular with her classmates."
