''Forty years ago, Carol and Richard Emineth were killed at the Mini Basket near East Helena. No one has been convicted of the murders. On Tuesday, the Lewis & Clark County Sheriff’s Office said new DNA evidence is being tested in the case.
Sheriff Leo Dutton announced during a news conference that they have submitted previously untested evidence for DNA testing. The items submitted are believed to have been dropped or used by the suspect.
“Now, under touch DNA and a few other things, this is an incredible opportunity to say we are sure that the suspect touched this," Dutton said. "They did not have any idea when they took it before that this would be something in the future.”
'The Emineths co-owned and operated the Mini Basket Convenience Store in the 1980s. On January 19, 1986, the couple was attacked at the store.
Lori Emineth, the couple's daughter, was just 19 years old at the time'.
