Thumbprint ties Ohio man to 1977 California murder
Santa Clara County prosecutors say Willie Eugene Sims, 69, was arrested in Jefferson, Ohio, for the murder of Jeanette Ralston in San Jose in February 1977. A cigarette carton thumbprint matched Sims after authorities updated the FBI system, and DNA from Sims matched DNA on Ralston’s fingernails and her strangling shirt. The case had gone cold for decades with a suspect sketch and no breakthrough until now.
