1982 murder of Karen Stitt...suspect arrested!!!!
"A 75-year-old man was arrested in Hawaii for the rape and murder of a California teenager decades after her naked body was found dumped behind a cinderblock wall in Silicon Valley.
Karen Stitt was last seen alive waiting for a bus in Sunnyvale in the early morning hours of Sept. 3, 1982, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. The evening prior, she’d traveled from her home in Palo Alto to visit her boyfriend in the nearby city.
In late April 2022, Gary Ramirez was identified as the likely source of blood and bodily fluid left on Stitt’s leather jacket, with The Santa Clara County DA’s Crime Lab corroborating the findings earlier this month. They used DNA technology that relies on family tree genealogy, the same investigative process that resulted in the arrest and guilty plea of the notorious Golden State Killer in 2018.
Ramirez, a retired bug exterminator with no criminal history, was arrested on Aug. 2 in Maui and is expected to be extradited on charges of murder, kidnap and rape. He grew up in the Fresno area and previously served in the Air Force."
