Idaho: The suspect was found after 28 years in the brutal murder of 84 people inside the home. On August 10, 1995, the police solved the murder case of an elderly woman in Idaho, USA after 28 years. Wilma Mobley, 84, was killed inside her home by suffocation and an attack with a hand axe. In the incident, three people, including neighbor Danny Lee Kennison, were detained by the police under the shadow of suspicion. But in 2001, Danny Lee Kennison committed suicide.
As the years passed after the murder, the investigation had waned and no scientific evidence could be found to support the suspicion. Recently, the local police sought the help of the FBI in the case. When the evidence stored by the Idaho Police Forensic Team was subjected to DNA testing, it was found that Danny Lee Kennison himself killed Wilma. Evidence from Wilma’s underwear was matched to Danny Lee Kennison’s.
More than a decade of scientific tests have helped the police to close the murder case of Wilma. In 2022, an officer named Clinton Wagner took the initiative to investigate the case with various departments. Unlike in the past, detailed DNA testing was done on the samples. The police said that the investigation of the case was completed on Monday. The other two persons who were under the shadow of suspicion in the case can be comforted. The case was closed after the police informed the family members of Wilma about the case. Wilma lived in the southern Idaho city of Jerome.
