## Resource

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office recently announced the resolution of the 1992 cold case murder of Elizabeth Wasson, an 82-year-old community pillar from Hillsboro. Modern forensic testing conducted in 2023 allowed investigators to identify male DNA on evidence from the original crime scene, officially linking the killing to Cesar Barone. Barone was a notorious serial killer who had already been convicted of multiple murders before he died in prison in 2009. This breakthrough was spearheaded by the local Cold Case Unit, which sought to provide long-awaited closure for the victim’s family. Although the perpetrator is no longer alive to face new charges, officials emphasized their commitment to pursuing justice for victims regardless of how many decades have passed.
