Laney Lee McGadney It's been a cold case for nearly 40 years but now a Laurel man has been arrested in the kidnapping, rape and murder of a mother of four. Howard County police say Howard Jackson Bradberry, Jr., 62, was arrested at his home Tuesday. DNA connected Bradberry to the 1982 crime scene where the body of 28-year-old Laney Lee McGadney was found, police say. Witnesses said they saw her being taken as she walked along Oakland Mills Road in Columbia on March 29, 1982. She'd left her apartment to go to a grocery store in Owen Brown Village Center. Her body was discovered the same day.
