Terry Leroy Bramble was 32-years-old when he sexually assaulted, stabbed, and strangled Lucille Hultgren inside her home, Galt Police Chief Brian Kalinowski said.
Authorities say a suspect in a 1988 sexual assault and killing of a 79-year-old woman in Galt has been identified thanks to advanced DNA testing on scrapings from the victim’s fingernails.
In the past, a DNA sample had to be the size of a quarter to be able to get a profile, but "now it's less than a billionth of a size of a Sweet'n Low package," officials said.
