DNA Evidence Solves 1979 Cold Case Murder in Illinois

Bruce Lindahl, a deceased serial killer, identified as the murderer of 19-year-old Kathy Halle after 45 years.

Advanced DNA technology linked Bruce Lindahl to the 1979 murder of Kathy Halle, a case that had remained unsolved for decades.
Lindahl, suspected of killing up to a dozen women, died in 1981, preventing any legal prosecution for Halle's murder.
Halle's body was discovered in the Fox River weeks after her disappearance, sparking a long-standing cold case investigation.
The breakthrough came after familial DNA linked Lindahl to another cold case, prompting a re-examination of evidence in Halle's case.
Halle's family expressed gratitude for the closure provided by the new DNA findings, after enduring years of uncertainty.
