The DNA was compared against public databases in 2020, leading to two possible matches: Alan Lee Phillips or his older brother, Bruce Phillips, per CBS News.
Investigators determined the DNA belonged to Alan Lee Phillips after retrieving his DNA from a napkin in a trash can at a Sonic Drive-In in January 2021, according to the report. Alan Lee Phillips was then arrested and charged with crimes related to the murder in February 2021.
