A Florida judge has denied a 65-year-old California fugitive bail in connection with the death of a woman nearly 40 years ago. Donald Santini was arrested by U.S. marshals in California last month and extradited to Florida. Prosecutors say he’s used at least 13 aliases over the years and Santini was the last person seen with 33-year-old Cynthia “Cindy” Ruth Wood before she was murdered. Santini faces a first-degree murder charge. The judge told Santini that being on the run for almost 40 years is “a consciousness of guilt.” Wood’s stepdaughter says she’s hoping to find closure in a case that devastated her family.
