“As you can imagine, technology has rapidly changed in the area of DNA," Irvine PD spokesperson Kyle Oldoerp told 2 News Nevada. "The victim’s DNA was entered into a database, and really this was an amazing collaboration through local and federal partners over years of not giving up on this case."
Oldoerp said that detectives suspect that Thomas left Reno as a teenager and made her way to Southern California
