The murder of Cynthia Ruth Wood is finally seeing justice after nearly forty years of her death.
Donald Michael Santini, 65, was arrested in California last week after receiving a tip from Florida and Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. He’s been wanted on a first-degree murder charge since June 18, 1984.
The mother of three was found in a Florida ditch three days after she was reported missing. She was last seen leaving her home five days before her body was discovered.
Her cause of death was determined to have been from strangulation after Santini’s fingerprints were found on her body.
Santini, then 26, was assumed to have been living in Texas using an unknown identity, according to the Hillsborough County Office website.
Thirty-nine years later, Santini was found living in California using a different name.
A witness statement from 1984 told the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office that Charles Michael Stevens, a...

In “Renfield,” an outrageous new take on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” told from the point of view of the count’s perpetually put-upon manservant (played here by Nicholas Hoult), the notion of being too over-the-top is considered and then hastily breezed by. In the opening sequence alone, an ancient curse is placed on the dark prince; when Dracula is freed he turns into a vaporous mist and explodes a priest from the inside. Then Dracula catches on fire and is turned into a crispy skeleton.
The sequence is telling both for its bold tonal shifts and for the manic approach to action. It’s the type of scene you would say could only be devised and executed by a man well-versed in animation. (The crispy skeleton bit could have been out of an old “Looney Tunes” Roadrunner cartoon.) And you would be right. “Renfield” was brought to life by Chris McKay,...
