MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The search for a man wanted in a 1970 bombing on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus continues.
A request for fingerprints had produced speculation that authorities might finally have Leo Burt in custody after 37 years on the run. But FBI spokesman Leonard Peace says authorities do not have Burt in custody and a routine check of someone’s fingerprints did not match Burt’s prints.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Grant Johnson says the lead was generated from a recent “America’s Most Wanted” episode that described Burt’s case. But he says it was unsuccessful.
