Man gets 60 years for teen’s murder

A man convicted of killing a 13-year-old girl in Indianapolis in 1986 will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Paul Reese Sr., 69, was sentenced Wednesday to 60 years for the death of Dawn Stuard. Reese was charged with murder and rape in the case in 1986, but charges were dropped due to problems with witnesses and evidence. Investigators said new DNA evidence led them to Reese last year. Reese was already serving a 20-year sentence in an unrelated murder case.
