The cold case murder of a Washington woman has been solved over two decades later thanks to DNA evidence from a cigarette butt left at the scene, authorities announced Wednesday.
Barnes’ case was reopened in April 2018. DNA samples from the scene were sent to the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory and two private labs, Othram in Texas and DNA Labs International in Florida, for testing. On Dec. 22, 2021, Othram provided a potential suspect name based on the DNA, which led investigators to Arizona. They worked with investigators in the city of Nogales and the medical examiner’s office in Pima County.
On Feb. 7, the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab confirmed the DNA matched the suspect DNA profile, identified as Krohne.
