Maryville Police Detective Arthur King is assigned to Herron's case and said he sent the FBI evidence from the 1985 crime scene in 2023.

"Forensics have gotten much better since 1985," King said. "We submitted things we tested back then, and we may get better results now with technology being enhanced like it's been."

''Herron was killed on Jan. 4, 1985, but his body wasn't found until the following morning at the Shady Acres Trailer Park, off Foch Road in Maryville. ''
