May 18, 2022, 3:28 AM UTCA California man suspected of raping and killing a 79-year-old woman more than three decades ago was identified Tuesday after authorities examined fingernail scrapings that provided a DNA match.
“The fingernails were key to solving this case,” Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said.A motive in the killing remained unknown. Bramble, whom authorities described as a sex offender and a"longtime resident and transient" in the small community of Galt, died in October 2011 of natural causes."He was not on our radar as a potential suspect," Kalinowski said.
Traditional investigative techniques failed to identify a suspect, as did earlier efforts to solve Galt's single cold case using DNA, former Galt Police Chief Doug Matthews said. The case was re-examined after a former detective who investigated the killing mentioned it to Schubert last year, she said.
