Investigators compared crime scene DNA to online open-source profiles until they found the relative.
After months of comparisons, investigators finally narrowed the DNA evidence in the cold case down to DeAngelo on April 20 and began surveilling him. A day later they got a DNA sample from an item he discarded.

‘The second sample was astronomical evidence that it was him,’ district attorney Anne Marie Schubert said, adding, ‘There were a whole lot of holy s**t moments.’
