Murder of second world war veteran milkman in Florida solved after 50 years

Investigators say two people came forward after death of man who killed Hiram ‘Ross’ Grayam in 1968

More than five decades after a second world war veteran was killed while working as a milkman in Florida, investigators say they have 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.
