A suspect in a 1988 sexual assault and killing of a 79-year-old woman in a small Northern California community has been identified thanks to advanced DNA testing done on scrapings from the victim’s fingernails.A suspect in a 1988 sexual assault and killing of a 79-year-old woman in a small Northern California community has been identified thanks to advanced DNA testing done on scrapings from the victim’s fingernails, authorities said Tuesday.
Bramble was homeless and a registered sex offender when he died in 2011 of natural causes while living under a bridge on Highway 99 in Galt, Kalinowski said. In the past, a DNA sample had to be the size of a quarter to be able to get a profile, but "now it’s less than a billionth of a size of a Sweet’n Low package," Schubert said.
A mother of two adult children, Hultgren lived alone after her husband’s death the previous year, Kalinowski said.
