Agents secured a warrant for him in late January and arrested him in Phoenix in the March 1982 killing of 44-year-old Michael McKeown. He was brought to Kansas after waiving extradition.

A 75-year-old Phoenix man has been arrested in connection with a murder committed in Kansas over 40 years ago.

Investigators believe McKeown was shot and killed in his car, while it was parked in the lot outside of his Hutchinson apartment. His body was found the next day, the KBI said.

The KBI said agents conducted several key interviews in three states, which provided the additional evidence needed to proceed with charges in this cold case.
