A man who is charged because of murder in which 1983 death of his girlfriend at the time was delivered to Oregon and appeared in court for the first time this week.

The 27 -year -old Teresa Peroni was reported shortly after participating in a party in Selma, Oregon, on July 4, 1983 until CBS News reported. Witnesses said Peroni had recently been seen with her 29-year-old friend Mark Sanfratello into the forest. According to Peroni's profile of the national system, the couple fought for missing and non -identified persons during the party.

A Grand Jury, 72, has charged Sanfratello on June 27th.

Sanfratello was arrested on June 28th in Chico, California. On Wednesday he had his first court in Oregon when he was charged with Josephine County Circuit Court, said the Oregon Ministry of Justice.

The case is pursued by the Oregon Ministry of Justice. The General Prosecutor of Oregon, Dan Rayfield, shone how important it is to use new technologies to solve cold cases.

“What happened to Teresa Peroni has left her family for decades of uncertainty and grief,” said Rayfield, said Rayfield Wednesday in a press release. “While the legal process is now in progress and it is important not to prejudice its result, this arrest reflects the progress that is possible when law enforcement authorities exist and develop with new tools. It is a strong memory that time does not delete the need for answers.”
