A man linked to a nearly 40-year-old Tampa cold case murder arrived Wednesday morning in Hillsborough County following his arrest in California earlier this month. Around 3:30 a.m., 65-year-old Donald Santini arrived at the Orient Road Jail after being arrested and extradited from San Diego. Santini has been wanted for the 1984 murder of Cynthia Ruth Wood, a then 25-year-old going through a divorce with her husband. The Bradenton woman's body was found in a watery ditch three days after she went missing on June 6 of that year. The arrest warrant said a medical examiner determined she had been strangled and Santini's fingerprints were found on her body, the Tampa Bay Times reported. He was identified as a suspect shortly after the murder. Santini fled Hillsborough County immediately.
