This info is from 2017 but I thought I'd add it here. A DNA profile was collected but no match (yet).

Police have looked at three persons of interest, however. Their names are Dennis Taylor, Vincent Lane, and Willie Boley. Per our partners at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in 2013, "Taylor’s wife lived in a home with the same address number on a parallel cul-de-sac a block away from the Wilkinson home. She and Taylor were going through a divorce at the time of Wilkinson’s death."

For the first time, a DNA profile has been created for 2007 cold case murder involving 68-year-old woman

Detectives have always believed that the gunfire at Marianne Wilkinson's door was not meant for her.
