Although the perp is deceased, at least we know he was responsible for the rape and murder of a 20-year-old woman back in 1975.
We can thank genetic genealogy for solving the case:
Elliott was already deceased, but in October, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department obtained consent to exhume his body in relation to the two homicides. A detective from the Westminster Police Department was also in Las Vegas to witness the exhumation, the police department said. His bones were collected and analyzed, and in December, he was identified as a match to the unknown DNA profile, meaning that the Becker cold case was solved.
"We are thrilled we were able to solve this cold case and hopefully bring closure to the friends and family of Teree Becker," the Westminster Police Department said.
