Thanks to all that made this happen.” Daniels Lundin continued.

“Mary Ann was trusting, carefree and always believed the good in people. She has never been forgotten by her family," said Terry Lee Saline, Mary Ann's brother

''Jacquez and Daniels had moved in to their apartments about the same date on Jan. 9, 1989. Jacquez told police he had no relationship with Daniels outside of being casual neighbors, according to charging documents.
Fast forward to 2022, and a genetic genealogist used standard genealogy methods to determine Jacquez was likely genetically related to a DNA profile collected from evidence at the scene.''

After learning that Jacquez was living in Las Vegas, an Everett police detective contacted Las Vegas police and requested help in obtaining a covert DNA sample from Jacquez, the charges say. An undercover officer followed Jacquez to a restaurant, collected his discarded beer bottle and had it shipped to the Everett Police Department.

Male DNA from Daniels’ cheek swab and blood found on the bra tied around her neck matched DNA recovered from the beer bottle, the charges say. As of last week, there were several items still awaiting forensic testing and detectives planned to ask a judge for permission to collect a reference DNA sample from Jacquez so direct comparisons can be made, according to the charges
