Monica Leech, a 39-year-old mother of two, had been working at a California bank for only a few weeks when two men robbed it in 1997, according to reports. Handcuffed and on her knees in the Thousand Oaks bank's vault with three other employees, Leech died when one of the men shot her point-blank in the back of the head, SF Gate reported. 'It was absolutely unprovoked,' Ventura County chief deputy Bob Brooks said at the time, according to the news outlet. Now new evidence in the 26-year-old cold case has led to an arrest, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said in a March 14 news release.
