Can New Tech Now Catch the Missouri Killer Never Captured?

It's never too late to catch a killer. That's why there is hope that new technology may finally be able to catch the Missouri serial killer that as of this date has never been identified and captured.

In the next few days, we will arrive at the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of what would become known as the I-70 serial killer crimes. As Wikipedia documents, the first attack happened on April 8, 1992 and continued at least through May 7, 1992. Clerks that worked near Interstate 70 were murdered one by one beginning in Indianapolis and continuing through St. Charles and Raytown, Missouri.

Wikipedia says "the I-70 killer was described as being a white man in his twenties or thirties, 5'7" to 5'9" tall, thin and having lazy eyelids and sandy blond or reddish hair in 1992." However, no suspect has ever been charged with this crime.

A&E said there was a new effort in St. Louis, Missouri just a few years ago in 2021 called the I-70 Killer Task Force. The hope was that new technology like "touch DNA" could definitively link someone to these crimes so they could face justice.

There is new hope that this killer can be caught after the Missouri Attorney General's Office just announced recently that another 1992 cold case had finally been solved when 63-year-old Tony Lee Wagner of Missouri had been convicted of a vicious rape of hikers from that year. It was new DNA technology that finally led to his arrest and conviction and that is the hope of the I-70 serial killer task force.

Perhaps we've arrived at a time when the person or persons responsible for taking the lives of the clerks near I-70 in 1992 can finally be made to face justice.
