Can anyone tell me for sure if their case was ever on UM? There is a UM Wiki listing for them. Thx

No, their case was never on UM.

I remember reading the extensive Websleuths thread on the case. Sad that it's still unsolved.

It seems that there has been a development in the case. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/suspect-54-is-arrested-for-cold-case-murders-of-two-girls-17-who-were-found-shot-dead-in-the-trunk-of-their-car-20-years-ago-after-one-of-his-relatives-submitted-their-dna-to-a-genealogy-website-and-it-matched-traces-found-at-the-scene/ar-BBUTeAn?ocid=spartanntp

I saw this yesterday and was delighted to hear it! It's wonderful to see so many cold cases being solved. I know this one isn't 100% in solved territory yet, but it seems like it with the DNA match.

We are thrilled here. There are a few that have a certain person in mind as the killer that don't want to believe this suspect did it, but there's no accounting for his DNA being on JB Beasley.

I've said all along that it was going to end up being a crime of opportunity with a chance encounter with the killer and it looks like this is going to be the case.

I don't think we are going to hear much before trial from LE about what happened, I think they will play it close. There will be a press conference this morning streamed live from WDHN the local ABC affiliate.

Can you say anymore about the person everyone suspected before this DNA news? Is that suspect in any way connected to the DNA guy?

Goes to show you how innocent people can be railroaded by "the mob" out there. Thank God for DNA.

I can't say, but I will say that I do not personally believe there is a connection between the two.
