Matthew Hutchison's relentless dedication and DNA evidence uncovered years later finally led to Ramirez's arrest.

Karen's aunt expressed the sentiment that while justice is served, it comes too late for her niece, who lost her life at a young age due to this heinous act.
After decades, Gary Gene Ramirez, now 77, pleads no contest to the brutal murder of 15-year-old Karen Stitt, bringing closure to a long-unsolved case.
Justice is a difficult thing; he’s lived his entire life, and my niece didn’t get that privilege, commented Karen Stitt's aunt.
The murder of Karen Stitt was solved thanks to DNA evidence, which wasn't widely utilized in criminal investigations until years after her death.
