After more than three decades, Ventura police have solved the murder of a 42-year-old woman who was found dead on a hillside in 1991.In a statement released on Tuesday, investigators say that the use of advanced genetic genealogy techniques led to them finally being able to identify the perpetrator after 33 years. The body of Danielle Clause was discovered on a hillside near the top of Tioga Drive close to downtown Ventura on July 16, 1991, the statement said.
They were able to locate genetic genealogy and develop a family tree of the perpetrator.
