 The "Women's Bill of Rights" is basically worthless symbolism, especially in light of the fact so many far right organizations support it.

Thanks to genetic genealogy, a 45-year-old murder case has been solved.

Aldridge’s case was reopened in 2020. Investigators reportedly obtained a DNA sample from a family member of a person of interest. Using genetic genealogy, officials learned the DNA matched that on a feminine product found on the victim’s body. As a result, the sheriff’s office identified Gary Lane Laframboise as the primary suspect.

Laframboise is now deceased but lived several miles from where Aldrigde’s body was discovered.

The suspect had been arrested and charged with kidnapping and impersonation of an officer in an unrelated case three months after Aldridge’s death, on Oct. 11, 1979. He pleaded guilty to the charges, as well as assault on an officer after breaking a deputy’s skull while in custody. According to the sheriff’s office, he served time in prison for his crimes from May 1980 until August 1982.

Johnson said he hopes this "gives the family some closure."
