East Ridge police are asking for the public’s help in locating a man who has used the credit cards of a 70-year-old woman found slain in her home.

Good picture of the suspect. Hopefully someone will see this that knows who he is. He has lots of explaining to do. My sympathies to Miss Jane's family and friends.
