“There is no perfect ending, but this is as good as we can get – holding the person that’s responsible accountable for their actions,” Lemma said at a news conference Thursday.
Emitt had not previously been considered a suspect in Aguilar’s death, Lemma said. He was tied to the killing after investigators submitted DNA from semen found at the scene into CODIS, a national database."
