A decades-old murder case has been solved with the help of forensic genetic genealogy. The breakthrough came after investigators submitted old DNA evidence for sequencing. This led to the identification of a suspect, who was found to be the son of a particular couple. Further investigation involved collecting a discarded item from the suspect's residence.

A 68-year-old man was arrested on a capital murder charge. He was taken into custody in Arizona. The charge relates to the death of a woman named Yolanda Herrera.

More details about the case are available, including the methods used to crack it and the events leading to the arrest.
