(Tacoma, WA) — The central Illinois man accused of the 1986 murder of a teenage girl is headed to Washington state to face charges. Tacoma Police yesterday picked up 60-year-old Robert Washburn. Investigators say they linked Washburn to the murder of 13-year-old Jennifer Bastian through DNA. Police in Eureka, Illinois, arrested Washburn earlier this month. There’s no word on when Washington state prosecutors expect to have Washburn in a courtroom in Tacoma.
