Shirley Brant, a real estate broker, was murdered in 1986 during an attempted robbery in her office. After decades of unsolved mystery, authorities arrested Jeffrey Taylor, a 64-year-old linked to the crime through new fingerprint technology. Brant's murder had gone cold, but a Cold Case Unit reopened her case in 2023, leading to a match of Taylor's fingerprints to evidence collected at the scene. This breakthrough highlights advancements in forensic science and the continued pursuit of justice even many years later.
Authorities say new fingerprint technology helped them match Taylor's prints to evidence collected at the scene, leading to his arrest nearly 40 years later.
Investigators found the old fingerprints and submitted them for new testing. In March 2025, they got a match: Jeffrey Taylor.
