The Newport Beach Police Department has announced the arrest of 70-year-old Michael Larry Manatt for suspicion of murder. Manatt is being held on bail of $1,000,000.

According to NBPD, Michael Manatt was arrested for the murder of Ronald Gaskey who was killed in his Newport Beach home on December 13, 1983.

Authorities say NBPD detectives completed many interviews and collected evidence from the residence in 1983. However, detectives were unable to file charges on any suspect.

Over the past few years, the case was reopened and NBPD detectives have been investigating. Manatt was taken into custody and booked into the NBPD Jail.
