The Alaska State Troopers have arrested the murderer of Sophie Sergie, who was found dead in a dorm bathroom at University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1993.
Law enforcement executed an arrest warrant in Auburn, Maine for a man, Steven H. Downs, believed to be the murderer. He is a 44-year-old nurse.
Last year, the investigators began working with a lab in Virginia that had more sophisticated systems for linking DNA and genetic histories of families.
Must Read Alaska has learned that the man’s aunt took a DNA test, and the link was made to someone who may have once been interviewed about the death.
Sergie was 20 years old when she was murdered early on April 26, 1993. Investigators concluded that it was a random killing, and that Sergie didn’t know her murderer. No one in the dorm heard the gunshot, and theories developed that the woman was killed elsewhere and then her body placed in the bathtub.
The solving of this case closely follows that of the Golden State Killer case, where the culprit was found through a family member’s DNA test.
They are coming for you, after 25 years. You can't hide any more. Expect a knock on your door at any time.
Just a thought.
