A cold case in Utah was solved, authorities announced this week.
Authorities didn’t know who she was until they were able to identify her just recently. She had been known as "the “Maidenwater victim.”
“The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office is very grateful to give our victim a name and peace to her family. We are also grateful for the State Bureau of Investigation for their help,” the office stated.
“She was supposed to travel to Dallas, Texas, and then to Laredo, Texas, but it’s not clear if she ever arrived there,” the project stated. “She has never been heard from again. On October 14, six months later, her husband reported her missing to the Youngstown, Ohio Police Department.”
A suspect in the murder hasn’t been named, but authorities indicated they know who murdered Reyes-Geddes.
Another Cold Case Solved
Another cold case appeared to be solved as police officers in California arrested John Arthur Getreu, 74, on Nov. 20 for the murder of Leslie Perlov, 21. Perlov, a Stanford University graduate, was strangled to death with a scarf in 1973.He faced charges of first-degree murder and attempted rape.
The chance of the DNA belonging to another person is around 1 in 65 septillion, or 65 followed by 24 zeros, according to investigators. Investigators have increasingly turned to DNA in recent years to help solve cold cases.
Joseph DeAngelo, 72, was arrested in April of this year after being identified as the infamous serial killer by authorities. Among his alleged murders was a college professor in 1975 after the man tried to stop DeAngelo from kidnapping his 16-year-old daughter.
Perlov’s sister described the impact of the killing in court on Monday.
