ARREST IN COLD CASE MURDER: A truck driver has been charged with the murder of a Tulare woman whose body was found off Interstate 10 in Riverside County nearly 30 years ago.
According to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, recently retired cross-country truck driver Douglas Thomas, 67, was arrested in late May in connection with a 1992 murder in Titus County, Texas. Thomas, who traveled extensively through the country during his more than 40 years as a truck driver, was linked to the Texas murder by a DNA match to evidence found at that crime scene, authorities said.
That DNA was also a match to evidence gathered in the investigation into Herrera's murder, according to the district attorney's office. After investigators with Riverside County's Regional Cold Case Team traveled to Texas to interview him about Herrera's murder, Thomas was charged with murder with a special circumstance allegation of rape.
Thomas remains in Texas, where he face charges in the 1992 murder before he can be extradited to California. Anyone with information about Herrera or Thomas or may have seen something suspicion in that area of Desert Center on or around March 30, 1993 can contact the Riverside County Regional Cold Case Homicide Team at 955-2777.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
