Law authorities say they used investigative genetic geology to solve the 1976 rape and murder of a 19-year-old nursing student.

Investigators said the technology helped identify the man who attacked Janet Stallcup at Christmastime that year while she was on her way to a party. Her body was found eight days later inside her car, about 2 1/2 miles from her Garden Grove apartment.
