ANGELICA, N.Y. — A 35-year-old cold murder case of Flossie Wilbur is finally solved.
Wilbur, who would be 110 if she was alive today, has been missing since Aug. 24, 1985 in Angelica, N.Y., when all police could find were her groceries in her car.
A search for her remains continues today near Almond, N.Y. after an alleged “death bed” confession from a neighbor who said he killed her.

David Sherk, a neighbor of Wilbur, is in a medical facility in Wyoming County, N.Y. with terminal cancer and allegedly confessed to the crime, several police sources confirmed. It appears he will not be charged because of his condition and cooperation with where the body is possibly buried, police said.
The New York State Police searched an area Wednesday and did not find any remains. The area near the Almond Dam has been flooded many times over the years.
