Authorities have officially closed Roslin Kruse's cold case murder after DNA profiling led them to the man believed to be her killer.
A woman's cold case murder has been solved after 30 years, owing to a breakthrough that led to a man believed to be her killer, authorities said. The woman, Roslin Kruse, was just 23 at the time of her death, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, which handled her case in Florida. Friday. She was found dead that same day on the shoulder of a road in Gibsonton, which is about 10 miles south of the city center.
The initial investigation into her killing briefly involved Rizzo, as detectives found that Kruse had entered a vehicle"with an unknown individual" prior to her body being found on the roadway. The sheriff's office said investigators ultimately traced the vehicle to a residence on Mike Drive in Tampa — where Kruse was last seen alive — and knew Kruse and the unknown person had entered the property.
Authorities collected and stored forensic evidence related to the case, including an unknown DNA sample taken from Kruse's body at the time, which did not yield any matches until November 2021. At the time, investigators collected a DNA swab from Rizzo's biological daughter, which matched the DNA profile taken from Kruse's body.
