The Southern California cold case dates back to June 3, 1978 — and police are still searching for a suspect
"A teenager who was murdered in the 1970s has been known only as 'John Doe' for decades until recent technology and dogged investigators led to his true identity," said Donald Alway, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office."Justice delayed doesn't have to be justice denied in this case. Kenneth Nevada Williams is now a known victim and identifying his killer is the next step in solving this case.
Investigative geneaology, using genetic information to identify victims and possible suspects, re-ignited the investigation and produced new leads. Detectives had a DNA sample of 'John Doe 1978' created for investigative genealogy and, in September, identified the victim as Kenneth, a 15-year-old boy who ran away from his family's La Puente home in 1978.
