New Year's Eve Nightmare

Summary Pensacola, Florida: Shortly before 5:00 AM on January 1, 1985, Tonya Marie Ethridge McKinley, age 23, is found dead on the roadside. She is identified by the contents of her purse. Law enforcement homicide detectives are unable to solve the case in 1985, but they have the foresight to collect biological evidence from the victim and from a bloody towel left at the scene. The case goes cold for over 30 years until forensic genetic genealogy matches the evidence DNA to Daniel Leonard Wells, who is now age 57, of Pensacola. He is arrested and confesses to the murder, but within 24 hours, he commits suicide in his jail cell.
