Oklahoma Arrest in California Cold Case

Authorities have arrested a man in Oklahoma and another in California in connection to the 1973 killings of two girls in California. Yuba County sheriff's officials say the arrests were made Tuesday in the deaths of 12-year-old Valerie Janice Lane and 13-year-old Doris Karen Derryberry. Both girls were from Olivehurst, California. Authorities say both suspects were linked to the case through newly tested DNA evidence and lived in the area at the time of the girls' deaths.

Larry Patterson was arrested in Oakhurst in Creek County.
