CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Two men charged in the 1992 cold case death of a New York sailor in South Carolina have been returned to the state.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports Charles Welty, of Missoula, Mont., and Douglas Emery of New Jersey are back in South Carolina.
The two are charged with murder, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct and desecration of a corpse in the death of 22-year-old James Allen Horton.
A woman from Goose Creek also is charged as well as Thomas Solheim, who lives on Long Island, N.Y. Authorities say Solheim has not yet been returned to South Carolina.
Horton was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in a ditch in
Berkeley County in 1992. He had been tied up and shot.
