💨 Abstract

On January 31, 1977, 24-year-old Jeanette Ralston was murdered after leaving a bar in San Jose. She was strangled and sexually assaulted, and her body was found in her car. The case went cold until 2023, when Willie Eugene Sims, 69, was linked to the crime through fingerprint and DNA evidence on a cigarette pack found in Jeanette's car and her body.
