FOX: Oklahoma investigators say they have cracked a 35-year-old cold case after finding a match for a DNA profile taken from cigarette butts collected at the crime scene.
Earl Wilson, 55, is now facing a first-degree murder charge in the 1985 killing of Paul Aikman, who was stabbed to death at a rest stop along a road connecting Oklahoma City and Tulsa, the state’s attorney general’s office says.
“Advances in DNA technology are allowing authorities to take another look at these difficult cases,” Attorney General Mike Hunter said in a statement. “Just because cases go cold doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t be held responsible, even after three decades.” read more
There’s a 55 year old face with 35 years of guilt and worry written all over it!
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarrette!
All I could think of when I saw this was that old Tex Williams classic Western swing song, Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette. Cow pie music at its best, Yee haw!
…all this ability, all this tenacity, all this patience, and yet they can’t send Hillary to jail with MUCH more evidence, go figure…
Why bother? They’ll just let him out without serving a full sentence. That seems to be American justice these days, oh unless of course you threaten the “udderly” despicable Mama of the House.
Mean while, rioters run rampant with no intervention. This must be the easy, safe investigation with no pesky political worries.
Did his “white privilege” give out or hasn’t he invoked it, yet?
How can they jail him during a Wuhan Flu Dempanic!?!?
izlamo delenda est …
OK, I’ll go the opposite direction of old country and say
“I like cig butts and I cannot lie…”
…^^^MissInMI wins today’s Internet for the best use of Sir Mix-A-Lot, here’s your claim check, well done!

Cigareets and Whuskey and Wild Wild Women – Red Ingle and The Natural Seven. First heard it on Dr. Demento in the early 80s.
About the absolute: They say something like “1 in 2 quadrillion” for proof. But, identical twins share the same genes.
Fingerprints: People have been accused with less than 4 points of reference on a partial print found at a crime scene.
I’m all for science and finding the bad-dudes, but we need to be careful.
Did you ever wonder: How many fingerprints and DNA are on that can of tomato soup in the market?
I’m glad Im not the only one who thought there’s no way in hades that dude is ONLY 55 lol
