A California whodunit ends after 40 years thanks to new advances in DNA technology.
Police long suspected Jane Morton Antunez and Patricia Dwyer were killed by the same suspect. By Kyle Swenson Kyle Swenson Reporter for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 18 at 4:58 AM With the illness marching through his body and his time running low, Arthur Rudy Martinez turned himself in.
But law enforcement was not done with Martinez. On Wednesday, Ian Parkinson, the sheriff of San Luis Obispo County, held a news conference to announce his office had solved two open homicides from the late 1970s. Even though they shared some common friends and both were known to hang out at an Atascadero watering hole called the Tally Ho Bar, very little seemed to connect the two murdered women. But as the Tribune reported, investigators at the time believed Antunez and Dwyer had been attacked by the same person. Both had been sexually assaulted and both were found with their hands bound behind their backs.
Shortly after the crimes, Martinez left California for Washington, where, by the end of 1978, he was convicted of a number of robberies and two rapes. He died in June 2014 leaving no indication of his part in the unsolved slayings in California. But the DNA analysis still didn’t match anyone in the statewide system, Parkinson explained on Wednesday, so Cole submitted the suspect’s DNA profile to the Justice Department’s Familial DNA Search team in Richmond, Calif., in March 2018. Its results indicated that Antunez’s killer was related to an inmate then serving charges for a different offense.
