A Kentucky man arrested for the cold case murder of a woman in Ohio is heading back to the state where he is accused of committing that crime.
It was Daniel French’s first court appearance on Monday morning since his arrest last week, and French waived his extradition, meaning he is heading back to Ohio where he is accused of murdering an elderly woman back in 2012.
The 56-year-old was arrested last Wednesday in Rockcastle County, accused of killing 86-year-old Barbara Howe.

In court Monday morning, he didn’t say much to the judge and his appearance was brief. But he did sign a form waiving his extradition to ohio.
