CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A Texas man faces charges of murder, sexual assault and incest in the 1985 death of his daughter in Wyoming.
60-year-old Jerry Joe Bradish of New Fairview, Texas, waived extradition to Wyoming at a court appearance today.
Fremont County Attorney Ed Newell says Bradish was arrested yesterday without incident by the Wise County Sheriff's Office. He will be brought back to Wyoming in coming days.
A Wyoming judge has set bail for him at $1 million.
13-year-old Teresa Bradish was found strangled by the roadside in September 1985 in Fremont County. Newell says she had left a group home for troubled youth hours before she was killed. Her father was working in Wyoming at the time.
Investigators say Bradish collected on a $10,000 insurance policy on the girl after her death.
According to records filed in state court in Wyoming, recent DNA testing shows sperm recovered from the girl's body matches DNA from work gloves that Jerry Bradish threw away in Texas last year.
