The Newport Beach police reopened the long-cold case of Ronald Gaskey's murder from 1983, leading to the arrest of Michael Larry Manatt, now 70, suspected of the brutal beating.
On December 14, 1983, Ronald Gaskey was found bludgeoned to death in his home, his body discovered by a friend after he failed to show up to work.
Investigators in 1983 noted that Gaskey was highly security-conscious, with an elaborate alarm system and significant home security measures, complicating the murder inquiry.
After years of inaction, Newport Beach police reassessed the evidence from Gaskey's murder, conducting fresh interviews that ultimately led to the arrest of Manatt.
