The man is arrested and accused of murdering his wife in 1998.

Todd Barket is 51 and comes from Brandon.. Wednesday was arrested and is charged with first degree murder for the death of Sondra Better.

The man went to work and when he had to ask for background checks and fingerprints, he was known to have committed a crime in 1998.

Better was 68 when she was killed at his workplace a few days before renewing his wedding vows, according to local media. The woman had left work and she had only a few days left.

She was stabbed and beaten to death. At that time, when the police arrived, he stated that the suspect's DNA had been found at the scene of the crime.

Javaro Sims, the Acting Police Chief of Delray Beach, said at the conference following his arrest: "We had fingerprints, blood and even a possible description of a witness." But the person responsible for this atrocious crime seems to have disappeared. "

After being a fugitive for 20 years, Barket applied in December for a job in a fire and water purification company.. For starters, they asked him to make the background and to give his fingerprints.

In January, these fingerprints were compared to those sent by the police to a national database after the murder. In addition, Barket also corresponded to the description of the witness.

Florida detectives and police officers have located and started following him. Later, the police got their DNA and on Tuesday it was confirmed that this matched the one found at the scene of the crime.

The reasons for the murder were unclear and it is unclear whether the suspect had a lawyer.
