Prosecutors will retry a man accused in the cold-case killing of a Native American woman in Sioux City.

Thomas Popp is charged with first-degree murder in the 1983 shooting death of 18-year-old Terri McCauley

She was a member of the Omaha Tribe and a mother of two children.

A judge declared a mistrial last month after jurors couldn’t agree on a verdict.

Popp’s attorney wants the case moved out of Woodbury County, arguing extensive news coverage would prevent a fair trial.

No date or location has been set for the retrial.
