WASHINGTON 1972 Cold Case Solved After 47 Years — The Jury Convicted Him Hours After He Died

In August 1972, twenty-year-old Jody Loomis rode her bicycle into the woods of Washington State — and never came home. Her body was found hours later. She had been shot in the head. For forty-seven years, no one was charged. The forensic evidence sat in storage, waiting for technology that didn't exist yet. Then came GEDmatch, Parabon NanoLabs, and a discarded coffee cup — and everything changed. The suspect was seventy-seven years old. He had lived five miles from the crime scene the entire time. And when the jury finally delivered their verdict — he had already been dead for hours. This is the full story of the Jody Loomis cold case.
