INDIANAPOLIS -

The trial for the man accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl 25 years ago began Monday.

Prosecutors believe Paul Reese Sr. killed Dawn Stuard in 1986. Detectives say DNA evidence linked Reese to the cold case. He's already serving a 20-year prison sentence for burglary.

Reese could face another 40 to 60 years if convicted on the new charge.
