Long-preserved DNA evidence helps link a suspect in a recent sexual assault to the unsolved killings of two women going back decades.
James Ray Gary, 76, of Fairfield, was arrested this week in connection with two cold case homicides in Union City and Vallejo
The Solano County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Thursday that deputies have arrested James Ray Gary in connection with the 1980 killing of 46-year-old Latrelle Lindsay in her Union City home and the 1996 slaying of another 46-year-old woman, Winifred Douglas, whose body was found dumped in bushes along Interstate 780 in Vallejo.
“We are hopeful that this arrest can help bring some closure to the families and friends that have been seeking justice for as much as 40 years,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.No suspects were identified at the time, but evidence from the crime scene was preserved. This was six years before what was then called “DNA fingerprinting” was first used in a criminal investigation in the United Kingdom.
