Eighteen years later, DNA was extracted from the rock used to crush Beslanowitch’s skull. A tool called the forensic vacuum helped the investigators immensely in solving the case. The DNA matched to man named Joseph Michael Simpson. He was a bus driver at the time of the murder. At 46 years of age, he was finally arrested when all clues pointed his way.

Weidner had been found strangled, raped, and beaten to death in her own home in 1989. She had been babysitting her younger sister who was sick at the time the home had been burgled. The only thing the cops knew then was that there had been a bloody palm print on the wall and her older brother’s stereo had been found missing. After that, the case gathered dust until a family friend gave the case to Sgt. Bill Carter.
