Karen Stitt, a 15-year-old girl, was tragically murdered in 1982 after a night out with her boyfriend. Following her disappearance near a bus stop in Sunnyvale, California, her body was discovered the next day. The case remained unsolved for over 40 years until recent DNA advancements identified 78-year-old Gary Ramirez as the suspect, leading to his arrest. Ramirez has since pleaded no contest to first-degree murder, allowing the community and her family to finally find some closure after decades of unanswered questions.
The tragic case of Karen Stitt, whose life was brutally cut short at age 15, was reopened after four decades and solved through advanced DNA technology.
District Attorney Jeff Rosen poignantly remarked that Karen Stitt 'would have been 57 years old today' reflecting on the life lost and the mystery resolved.
Advancements in forensic science combined with relentless determination from investigators led to the arrest of Gary Ramirez, who has now pleaded no contest to murdering Karen Stitt.
