A Chisholm man has been found guilty in the case of a 1986 murder on Minnesota’s Iron Range.
Michael Allan Carbo, Jr., 54, was found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder while committing criminal sexual conduct in the slaying of Nancy Daugherty, WDIO-TV reports. That charge carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Daugherty was 38 years old when she was found dead inside her home on July 16, 1986. Investigators collected DNA from more than 100 people over the years but it wasn’t until 2020 that Carbo was identified as a potential suspect after authorities got help from a company that analyzes public genealogy databases.
Carbo remains at the St. Louis County Jail on a $1 million bond.
His sentencing is set for Sept. 30.
