Great news in this long cold case. Police used reverse genealogy to identify relatives in an existing database. They then created a family tree and through a process of elimination came up with the suspect who they positively matched by surreptitiously obtaining a DNA sample from a discarded cup.

The same technique they recently used to catch the "Golden State Killer". Wonder how many other cold cases with DNA evidence are being reworked now?
