Authorities in Norwalk, Connecticut, say Marc Karun was taken into custody Wednesday as he left his home in Stetson, Maine. Officials say Karun is expected to be charged with murder and sexual assault when he is brought to Connecticut.

Kathleen Flynn disappeared on Sept. 23, 1986, while walking home from Ponus Ridge Middle School in Norwalk. Her mother reported her missing when she did not return home. Her body was later found about 100 feet off a path near the school.

Police have not release details about the arrest.

It’s not clear if Karun has a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
