That would be amazing... There is DNA to be had, but the entire Fred Zain debacle and the bad warrant screwed up the 1991 trial.
Only one of her children is still alive, but she has scads of grands and great grands. It's beyond time for her to have justice.

The Texas Rangers, apparently, have her case now... But, they have had Amanda Goodman's case for decades and nothing has happened.

UPDATE: During its December session, the Brown County Grand Jury returned an indictment for capital murder against 61-year-old Pablo Figueroa.

The indictment alleges that on April 27, 1981, Figueroa caused Inlow’s death by “stabbing or puncturing her chest with a knife or sharp object” while committing the offense of robbery, aggravated sexual assault, or burglary.

Assistant District Attorney Elisha Bird said that her office could not comment on what lead to the indictment, the whereabouts of Pablo Figueroa, or provide any details at this time.

Dona Mae Inlow…

41 years, 15 days and the murder of 72 year old Dona Mae Inlow is still unsolved.
