They held a news conference today and revealed that the likely perp was killed in a police shoot-out in 1982. Still, it's closure.

Thank you for the ping to the rest of the story. Much appreciated.

It’s good to know this can be put to rest. The impression I get is probably a child of this man, Kenneth Eugene Troyer, is or was in prison at some time where his/her DNA was taken. This led to the saved sample of DNA from the murder which was a conclusive match.

From the story: “Troyer, who had been suspected of committing several other sexual assaults in California, was shot and killed by police after escaping from a California prison in 1982, McDonnell said. As investigators began to hone in on him as a possible suspect last year, they were able to obtain a sample of his DNA that was held in the Orange County coroner’s office and conclusively link him to Klaas’ slaying, Katz said.”

There’s gotta be another joke in here....
