Wilmington police solve multiple murder mysteries

The Wilmington Police Department has solved two murder cases that have been under investigation for years.

James Daughtie has been charged with the murder of Vicky Robbins Brendle after additional witnesses came forward.

Brendle was shot in her car during a robbery in the 1100 block of South Front Street in September 2002.

Daughtie is currently in prison in Colorado on unrelated charges.

The second solved case is the January 2003 murder of 75-year-old Buren “Booty” Borneman.

Police say DNA tests confirm Sarah Bailey stabbed Borneman in the head with a screwdriver in his home during a robbery. Bailey died of a drug overdose last year.
