Dana Shepherd, a 52-year-old man from Missouri, has been arrested for the 1993 rape and murder of his 19-year-old neighbor, Carmen Van Huss, in Indianapolis. Van Huss was discovered dead in her apartment on March 24, 1993, after failing to show up for work, with evidence indicating a violent struggle. Genetic genealogy played a crucial role in identifying Shepherd as a suspect after DNA from the crime scene matched his. Despite the case going cold for decades, investigators revisited the evidence in 2018, leading to a breakthrough in 2023. Shepherd has been charged with murder and rape and is currently held without bail in Missouri, with an extradition hearing pending. The case finally brings some hope for closure to Van Huss's family after over 30 years of seeking justice.
