TL;DR Summary

The victim of a 1986 murder in California has been identified using genetic genealogy, and authorities are now hoping to identify her killer and a male victim found murdered nearby. Claudette Jean Zebolsky Powers disappeared in September 1984 at age 22, and her identity had long eluded detectives until they matched DNA from a sample of her hair with the DNA of an unidentified relative. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office is offering up to $1,000 in reward money for information that leads to an arrest in the case.
