Newark police and the Licking County Prosecutor’s Office will hold a joint press conference Monday to discuss recent developments in a decades-old homicide investigation. Authorities will address the public at 2 p.m. regarding the 1989 murder of Helen Stuart, a 71-year-old woman whose death has remained unsolved for more than 35 years. https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/newark-1989-murder-case-helen-stuart/530-1b297449-fee8-46db-a3e2-b820b3a57274 Just last week, authorities announced that 67-year-old Delbert Saunders Jr. was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated murder, murder, aggravated burglary, rape and two counts of kidnapping in the death of Stuart. Helen's body was found on April 21, 1989, when an Ohio Department of Transportation worker discovered her in the back seat of an abandoned car along state Route 16, east of SR-668, in Hanover Township. 10TV previously reported that police believed she was assaulted at her Russell Avenue home before her body was placed inside the car. According to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Saunders is currently at the Noble Correctional Institution serving time for a separate case where he was convicted of kidnapping, rape and having a weapon while under disability. He has been there since 2003. Helen's great-granddaughter, Rae Stuart, told 10TV that their family "is finally seeing justice." "This arrest brings a mix of emotions: relief, sorrow, and gratitude. While nothing can undo the pain of losing her, knowing that the person responsible is finally being held accountable helps us begin to heal," Rae said. She asked for "continued prayers" as her family processes this news. "Helen’s life mattered. Her story mattered. And now, her voice is finally being heard," she said.
