Detectives to check case for possible similarities to '86 shooting in N.C.

Medina County sheriff's detectives are reopening a 38-year-old unsolved homicide case to see if there's a link to a woman charged with killing one of her five dead husbands.
Betty Neumar, 76, has been charged with one count of solicitation of murder in the July 1986 shooting death of her fourth husband in North Carolina. Stanly County (N.C.) authorities have urged investigators elsewhere to look into the deaths of her other spouses.
Neumar's first husband, Clarence Malone, was shot to death in November 1970 in Brunswick. He was working on a car outside an auto body shop on Pearl Road at the time.
Neumar and Malone had been separated for nearly 20 years when he was killed.
Medina sheriff's detective Scott Phillips said local authorities are pulling the case file and will look for any similarities that could connect Neumar.
''We're going to reopen ours and look at it based on information we received from North Carolina,'' he said Monday.
Authorities in Georgia and Florida also are re-examining the deaths of husbands there.
Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris declined to comment.
Neumar and Malone were married in November 1950 in Ironton. About a year later, she filed a court complaint claiming her husband had abused her.
It's unclear what happened to that complaint or when the marriage broke up. There's no record of their divorce being filed in Lawrence County.
Malone's brother Robert has told the Ironton Tribune that he doesn't believe Neumar was involved in his brother's death.
Neumar's attorney didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
