DNA-linked suspect arrested decades after Cindy Wanner murder
After Cindy Wanner vanished from Granite Bay in 1991 and her body was found three weeks later, investigators used newer DNA testing to identify James Lawhead Jr., who had been living under an alias. He was arrested in Bullhead City, Arizona, and extradited to Placer County to face murder and kidnapping charges; Lawhead’s sister, Terry Lawhead Steele, was arrested on an accessory charge as authorities continue to probe possible links to other crimes.
