After nearly twenty years, investigators have arrested Mark Munoz for the murder of Jason Royter, a father of two found stabbed to death in his home. DNA evidence collected from the crime scene matched Munoz’s DNA, revealing a connection despite the lack of a motive or forced entry. The case represents the dedication of law enforcement to cold cases, with officials citing the challenge of tracking down transient suspects. The investigation’s progress brought relief to Royter's family, who have waited two decades for justice.
I know this could have stalled, Niki Price, one of Mr. Royter's sisters, said. They would not stop until it was done.
Some of them go 10 years, 20 years, 50 years. It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Munoz... had a lawyer.
Mr. Munoz had been difficult to track down because of his transient background. He really doesn't have a stable residence.
Investigators said that DNA collected from Mr. Royter's home... matched a sample that had been collected from Mr. Munoz.
