Police in Northern California announced the arrest of a man in the 42-year-old cold case rape and murder of a teenage girl, saying relatively new DNA technology points to the suspect. James Unick, 62, of Willows, about 85 miles northwest of Sacramento, was booked late Monday into the Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of murder, rape, lewd acts with a minor by force, kidnapping for molestation and a special circumstance allegation of murder during a kidnapping, according to inmate records.
Likewise, detectives can look at databases of suspects, defendants and convicted criminals ordered to submit DNA to find close matches that may lead them to relatives. With genealogy, investigators might not get an exact hit, but they can get close enough to establish whether a suspect may be among a group of siblings or other relatives.
