  TOLEDO, Ohio (April 24) - A Roman Catholic priest was charged in the 1980 strangling and stabbing of a nun whose body was found in a hospital chapel.

  
  

  On Friday, police arrested the Rev. Gerald Robinson, who performed the funeral for the 71-year-old nun.

  
  

  "New technology" led them back to Robinson, 66, who was charged with murder. Robinson and Sister Margaret Ann Pahl worked together at Mercy Hospital, where he was chaplain.

  
  

  Pahl was strangled and stabbed about 30 times on April 5, 1980. Her body was found surrounded by lit candles with her arms folded across her chest in the chapel, where she was the caretaker.
