FRESNO, Calif.—Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims says new DNA technology allowed authorities to arrest a registered sex offender they suspect killed a Fresno High School student in 1974.
Authorities arrested 51-year-old James Blaylock Monday on suspicion of murdering Debra Lee Curb. Curb was just 17 when her parents found her dead at their Fresno home on January 1st, 1974.
DNA taken from her body revealed that Blaylock had intercourse with Curb, although he denies he killed her. Mims says it's the first cold case to be filed since the unit was formed in 2002.
