DNA Evidence Links Death Row Inmate to 25-Year-Old Cold Case Murders
TL;DR Summary
DNA forensics and genetics have connected Florida death row inmate Lucious Boyd to a nearly 25-year-old rape and murder cold case, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office. Boyd, who is already on death row for another murder, has been identified as the killer of Eileen Truppner. Investigators used DNA found at the crime scene to compare with DNA swabs from Truppner's relatives.

This is the 21st cold case solved since the establishment of the Broward Sheriff's Homicide Cold Case Unit in 2019.
