Here is an interesting report about an arrest in a recent cold case arrest:

With arrest in 2005 murder case, retired Pasco detective gets closure:

Since 2005, detectives have found new evidence, deputies said. According to Koenig, witnesses who were not at the scene of the crime saw Stoll later and said he had bloody clothing and told them he killed a woman and her dog.

And “new technologies” have allowed for better DNA analysis, he said.

Though there were no signs of sexual assault, detectives found a pubic hair in Bobrick’s home, Jenkins said. Recent testing of the hair ties Stoll to that location, he said. Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kevin Doll declined to elaborate further on the new testing technology.

Stoll’s previous incarceration was helpful as detectives tried to build their case, Jenkins said, because it allowed them time to compile the strongest evidence before arresting him.

14 years since an elderly Pasco woman's murder, DNA test leads to arrest

SALINAS, Calif. (KION) Salinas police are asking for the public's help solving the 2011 murder of 61-year-old Artemio Garcia.

Early in the morning on Oct. 23, police said Garcia went to his car parked on Casentini Street. Police said he drove to Gilroy every day around that time to work as a truck driver.

Detectives said Garcia was approached by an unknown suspect and was shot at close range for unknown reasons. Family members later went to the area and found Garcia dead.


Garcia had no gang ties and no criminal history, according to Salinas police. The motive for his murder is still unknown.

Details of a recent appeal in another cold case murder:

State police looking for witnesses in cold case murder from 1977:

MANHEIM, N.Y. – State police are still looking for witnesses in a cold case from more than 40 years ago, where a man was murdered in the town of Manheim in Herkimer County.

Police say 37-year-old Charles A. Stahl was driving his Ford Bronco on Snells Bush Road on Nov. 8, 1977, stopping after he noticed some tree branches and debris blocking the road. Investigators believe Stahl was shot while sitting in his vehicle after he stopped.

Charles A. Stahl
Stahl’s father was traveling down Snells Bush Road, stopping when he saw his son’s Bronco in the middle of the road. When he realized his son was in the truck suffering from a gunshot wound, he immediately called 911.

Police say they have followed various leads related to Stahl’s death, but an arrest has never been made and the case remains open. Police ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact them at 315-366-6000.
