Authorities in Ohio say a man killed by police during a shootout last month has been identified through DNA evidence as the suspect in a 43-year-old cold case murder.
Mansfield Police Chief Jason Bammann said the cold case of Debra Lee Miller, an 18-year-old waitress beaten to death in her apartment in 1981, was reopened in 2021 to account for advances in DNA technology and forensic investigative techniques.
