Police say the crime scene was at Magic Valley RV Park in Weslaco. A Canadian couple was staying there the night of November 13 1988 when a 19 year old man invaded the mobile home then shot the couple in cold blood when confronted. This murder rallied the community to form the Weslaco Crime Stoppers.
And this case is closer to being resolved. After 22 years the DNA sample collected in that mobile home that night has a match.
A 41 year old man in custody in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He's been placed on hold there until Weslaco Police can get him extradited to the valley to face capitla murder charges.
Second generation investigators are even on this case after their parents have retired. They say it's a historical moment that they finally have a lead in this case after so many years.
