"This woman was struck with an unknown object on her head that caused a tremendous amount of damage and then her ribs were all broken as well. It was a brutal homicide, then she was dragged down a hallway and thrown into a bathtub full of water."
"We can conclude that this suspect was in the house during the time that this murder happened in a certain time frame. We feel that this case is solved based on the evidence that we have today."
"We do it for the families, that is the main reason. We should never forget that these cases have happened and we should do everything we can to solve them."
Investigators have solved the 1966 homicide of Marjorie Rudolph, a banker's wife, through DNA testing of cigarette butts found at the scene. Retired detectives identified James Switzer as the suspect, who died by suicide shortly after the murder. Rudolph suffered severe injuries, including broken ribs, and was found in a bathtub. DNA from the cigarettes matched Switzer, confirming his presence at the crime scene. The motive for the murder remains unknown, but the case resolution provides closure for the victim's family.
