The article is very vague on how he was finally caught (all it says is an abandoned DNA sample was found), no explanation for why charged for only 2 murders, no discussion of next steps. Will you please report the details?

what's an abandoned DNA sample?
-
In another case a few years back they proved the suspected guy was the killer by secretly gathering his DNA from some pizza crust that he threw away in his trash. Abandoned DNA means something like that.

Nice. He’ll rot in hell a lot sooner because he didn’t clean his plate.

I wonder if the reason for the delay was the fact that he was a cop. So many times cops will cover up for/protect other cops

Shoddy police work back then. Although they didn't have the technology of today, can't be losing track of or discarding evidence.

Is this the guy who ties his victim with shoelaces and puts plates on their back so he knows if they’re moving when he tells them not to?

Why was it “abandoned” will have to be answered at some point to prevent evidentiary problems.
