According to police in Gresham, Oregon, a decades-old rape and murder cold case has allegedly been solved, leading to an arrest of a suspect more than 41 years later. This breakthrough was only made possible by an “investigative tool” known as “genetic genealogy.”
“Robert Plympton, now 58, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly killing a 19-year-old college student in January 1980, according to police in Gresham,” reported ABC News. “Barbara Mae Tucker was a sophomore studying business at Gresham’s Mt. Hood Community College when she was sexually assaulted and beaten to death, said Gresham police.”
