The ‘Milkman Homicide’ in 1968 was the oldest cold case in the history of the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office (IRCSO). 56 years later, deputies have identified Thomas Williams as the killer.

The victim, Hiram ‘Ross’ Grayam, was a decorated veteran and Purple Heart recipient, who relocated to Vero Beach with his family in the 1960's.

He was a salesman for Borden Milk Company. He went out to do his routes in Gifford on April 11th, 1968 but never came home.

“We didn’t realize anything had happened, except my father was a little late in coming home, and then a sheriff’s deputy, an investigator showed up,” recalled Larry Grayam, the victim’s son, who was 16 at the time.
