When it comes to solving a cold case, a retired Chicago police detective says it takes three things.
"It’s the case that for a good reason, community members are never going to let die," said Waukegan Police Chief Keith Zupec.
Even though this case from the early 1990s is still unsolved, it’s not completely cold either. There is still a flicker of hope. The case took a surprising turn in 2014 when investigators found DNA in a 2000 North Chicago murder case matched the DNA evidence in the Staker case."What DNA does is it helps you prove a case a little better," said Sgt. Richard Schak.
As for that strong lead Chief Zupec mentioned, Waukegan police hope it will finally be the break they've been waiting for."We’re going to do everything we can. Just because this case is 30 years old does not mean that it's not a case we intend to resolve," Zupec added.
