Investigators used DNA taken from an airline passenger's water bottle to arrest him for a 1985 cold case murder featured in a 1991 episode of Unsolved Mysteries.
Michael Jefferson, 64, has been charged with murder and kidnapping after he allegedly forced Roger Dean, 51, to tie up his wife D.J. while demanding $30,000 from them before shooting Dean to death and fleeing about 36 years ago in Colorado.
The intruder, who was wearing a ski mask, had broken into the Deans' home in the early morning on November 21 and shot Dean five times when he tried to run from the home in Lone Tree. He died on the way to the hospital.
Jefferson, who now lives in New Orleans, was arrested earlier this month in Los Angeles and was extradited to Colorado on Tuesday, District Attorney John Kellner said at a news conference on Friday.
