ROYAL OAK, Mich., (WXYZ) - Two parolees who police say killed an elderly woman in Royal Oak may face charges soon.

Investigators say Alan Wood and Tonia Watson are responsible for murdering 80-year-old Nancy Dailey.

Dailey was found tied up with her throat slashed inside her home in November.

Dailey was found by a relative. Items were missing from the 80-year-old's home.

Detectives were able to determine the identities of the suspects after the two used an ATM card belonging to Dailey. Once the duo was identified, investigators tracked them down before arresting them in Canton.
