Police arrested an 83-year-old man in connection with a cold case related to the murder of an elderly woman in Dallas over 40 years ago. The breakthrough in the case came from a DNA match.

On Monday, Dallas Police announced an update regarding the arrest of 83-year-old Willie Jones.

Police said Jones was initially arrested on Jan. 16 for a parole violation related to a sexual assault.

While in custody, police said a DNA sample was collected and has “since been confirmed, related to a murder dating back more than 40 years.”

Prior to his arrest, Jones was wanted on multiple warrants out of Dallas County.

Officials have yet to release a motive for the murder or any additional details surrounding White’s death.

Police said Jones is facing charges for capital murder and is being held in the Dallas County Jail. 

His bond amount has not yet been set.
