MOM BUSTED IN BABY'S 1957 COLD CASE MURDER

JUSTICE'S LONG arm reached from the grave and arrested a Michigan woman in the March 1, 1957 murder of her six-month-old baby girl. Ruby Klokow was busted Monday after Sheboygan cold case cops reopened the probe. Klokow, 74, will make her initial court appearance Wednesday in Sheboygan Co. Circuit Court.
Cops say that although the death was considered suspicious in 1957, no charges were ever filed.
In 2008, one of Klokow's sons came forward with information that his mother might have been involved in Jeaneen Klokow's death. The body was exhumed and another autopsy was performed.
Her mother told cops the child died in an "accidental fall" from a sofa.
The shocking results  of the autopsy did not match Klokow's story of the
child falling.
Klokow was re-interviewed and confessed to her role in the baby's death. The child allegedly was thrown against a piece of furniture, causing the fatal injuries, Veeser said.
Police are recommending a charge of second-degree murder. The case will be prosecuted using the law in effect at the time.
