Idaho police say they have used genetic genealogy to crack the murder of a Hallmark store owner who was abducted as she left work in 1987 and found sexually assaulted and murdered a short distance away.
Boise cops announced Friday that DNA showed a man named Frank Rodriguez, who died in 2007, killed 65-year-old Joyce Casper.
A private lab contracted in 2017 was able to use DNA from the crime scene to provide a rough description of the assailant. Two years later, another lab re-examined the genetic material and was able to narrow it to a specific family tree; relatives gave DNA swabs that confirmed Rodriguez was the culprit, police said.
