DNA Match Leads to Cold Case Arrest

Investigators in Dunn County say they got their break in a cold case murder last year when a relative of the suspect uploaded their DNA to the internet. The investigation into the 1974 murder of Mary Schlais sat idle for years until a DNA match was found at an online genealogy site. Investigators yesterday said that DNA was uploaded last year, and was likely from a first cousin. The DNA match led detectives to Jon Keith Miller from Minnesota. Dunn County is now pushing ahead with murder charges. They say without the DNA match, the case may have gone unsolved
