Minnesota Man Arrested 31 Years Later In Denton Murder Case

DENTON (CBSDFW.COM) -- Authorities have arrested a 53-year-old Minnesota resident for a murder that occurred in Denton over 30 years ago.

Francisco Narvaez, then a 42-year-old male from San Antonio, was found murdered in a Denton motel room on Sept. 30, 1983. Detectives with the Denton Police Department investigated the death but were unable to make an arrest.

New leads and evidence led to the indictment of Robert Otteson, currently a resident of Lakeville, Minnesota. He was taken into custody by Lakeville Police and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension officers.

Investigators from Denton were also on hand to assist in the arrest.

The murder investigation is still ongoing. Authorities have not released a motive in the killing.
