Suspect arrested in 40-year-old rape and murder case after he was identified through genetic genealogy, authorities say.
Dogged investigative work eventually led authorities to Union County, Florida, where Clanton was working as a truck driver, authorities said.
Investigators conducted surveillance on Clanton for six days, surreptitiously obtaining his DNA from a mug at a bar and matching it with the crime scene evidence, KUSA reported.It wasn't immediately clear whether he has a lawyer. He had not entered a plea Monday afternoon.Spurlock said Pruszynski had moved from Massachusetts to Colorado two weeks before she was killed.
"This is a young girl who was just starting her life," Spurlock said."She wanted to be part of a bigger story." When Douglas County District Attorney George Brauchler told Pruszynski's sister about Clanton's arrest, the emotion in her voice was still raw, he told reporters.
