From Phoenix: A suspect has been identified in a decades-old murder case. The victim, a 54-year-old Navy veteran, was killed in 1987. Authorities recently obtained a DNA sample from the suspect, which linked him to the crime. However, the case will not be going to trial as the suspect took his own life shortly after providing the sample.

The suspect was 68 years old at the time of his death. His DNA was matched to evidence from the crime scene, providing a major break in the case. Further details about the investigation and the events surrounding the murder are available.
