Arrest Made in 1979 Cold Case Murder Thanks to DNA Evidence

In a significant breakthrough, an 82-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the cold case murder and rape of Kathryn Donohue, a woman who was strangled and left outside in Maryland in 1979. The suspect, Rodger Zodas Brown from North Carolina, was identified through genetic genealogy methods that have reopened cases previously deemed unsolvable. This arrest marks a critical step in bringing closure to a case that has haunted investigators for over four decades.
