Police File Charges In 1985 Murder

Columbus police say fingerprints obtained in 2015 led to the arrest and indictment of a Mount Vernon man in the fatal shooting of a Columbus woman in the mid-1980s. 63-year-old Douglas Krumlauf is charged with aggravated murder in the slaying of 24-year-old Sharla Spangler, who was last seen leaving an adult lounge in Gahanna in January 1985. Employees notified authorities when they noticed her empty car, with the engine running, in the parking lot. Her body was found in a vacant gas station parking lot on 161. Prosecutors say fingerprints from an unrelated arrest matched prints found at the crime scene.
