The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced Friday that the murder of Karen Klaas, the ex-wife of Righteous Brothers‘ singer Bill Medley, has been solved 41 years later by DNA evidence..

From what I've read they used familial dna to find the killer. What that means is the killer's dna was not in their database and so no match was ever found from evidence at the crime scene. But, through familial dna, law enforcement did get a match and what that means is a relative of the killer perhaps a son, got in trouble with the law and his dna was in the database. Law enforcement now had a name and a vital clue which they pursued to find out who the killer was.

I faintly remember hearing of that murder - so long ago - so glad they have found a suspect.

@Lovingq It does not necessarily mean that. Oftentimes when someone has been a suspect but there's never been enough evidence against that person to convict, and the person has died (likely in a 41 yr old case), a relative of the suspect will voilunatrily gtive up DNA to solve the crime. It could be the way you state, but not necessarily at all.

Questions that followed the original post could have been avoided had the People link, which I read over the weekend, been posted. I am constantly advocating posting a link to document news stories for this very reason.
