Irene Garza, a second grade teacher once crowned Miss South Texas, was last seen alive heading to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McAllen, Texas, to see 27-year-old John Feit the day before Easter, almost 56 years ago. Five days later her lifeless body was found face down in a nearby canal. An autopsy later she had been raped while unconscious and suffocated. Feit, now 83, was considered the prime suspect for more than half a century, but was finally arrested on Tuesday in Scottsdale, Arizona .
