TOLEDO, Ohio — A man accused of snatching a teenager on her way home from school in 1967 and holding her captive for days in his basement before killing her was convicted Friday of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Robert Bowman, once a successful businessman, was found guilty of the death of 14-year- old Eileen Adams in his second trial in a case that had stumped investigators for more than four decades, even after his ex-wife told police she saw the girl alive and “hanging like Jesus” in their basement. The teenager was sexually assaulted and tied up, and a nail was driven into the back of her head before her body was dumped in southern Michigan, prosecutors said.
