## Resource

A 1997 cold case just got solved thanks to cutting-edge DNA and genealogy tech—sixty-one-year-old James Lee Woodard has been arrested and charged in the assault of a woman abducted from a Midland mall. After decades without leads, federal-backed advanced testing finally connected the dots, leading to his arrest in April. But the hunt for the second suspect, who drove the van during the attack, is still on. Justice, it turns out, can wait—but it never truly sleeps.
