More than five decades after a World War II veteran was slain while working as a milkman in Florida, investigators say they've solved the case thanks to two people who came forward after the killer died.

Hiram "Ross" Grayam was delivering milk in April 1968 and failed to return home after work. Deputies later found his body and his milk truck deep in the woods in the Vero Beach area, the Indian River County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. He had been shot several times.

The case went cold, and no arrests were made during the next 56 years.
