A 73-year-old Arizona man was extradited to Nevada on Friday to face charges in the 1979 cold case killing of a woman who was last seen in California -- and investigators believe he may be responsible for more deaths. ABC 15 in Phoenix reported, citing law enforcement sources, that Sullivan may be linked to other homicides in Arizona. The statement announcing Sullivan's arrest said a Washoe County sheriff’s detective who reviewed the cold case asked for additional forensic analysis of the evidence and that it identified Sullivan as a possible suspect. Woodward was last seen alive Feb. 1, 1979, at the San Francisco airport while headed for Reno. The unsolved homicides webpage of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said the body of another victim, Jeannie Smith, 17, was found Nov. 2, 1979, buried about a mile from where Woodward’s body was found.
