   A man who died of a drug overdose after racking up arrests for   
   assault and attempted murder and other crimes has been linked to   
   a decades-old California cold case murder through DNA and   
   genetic genealogy.   
      
   Vallejo police said they identified Naomi Sanders’ killer on   
   Thursday -- the exact day her body was found 47 years ago.   
      
   Sanders was 57 at the time of the 1973 murder and managed the   
   apartment complex where she lived. She lived alone and was raped   
   and strangled in her apartment.   
      
   Police said in a news release the man who killed her was Robert   
   Dale Edwards, who was 22 at the time. His father worked with   
   Sanders.   
      
   Police said Edwards was identified after DNA from the crime   
   scene was uploaded to GEDMatch, a public genealogy website by   
   Parabon NanoLabs, which conducts genealogy research.   
      
   The crime scene DNA was recovered after forensic testing in 2014   
   on clothing Sanders was wearing when she was killed, they said.   
   There were no matches when the DNA profile was entered into the   
   FBI's DNA database of convicted criminals.   
      
   DNA collected from a man who was Edward’s biological son   
   confirmed the match, police said.   
      
   “The question that had gone unanswered for over 46 years was now   
   answered,” police said in a news release.   
      
   Edwards died of a drug overdose in Napa County in 1993.   
      
   His criminal history also included DUI, domestic violence and   
   theft in addition to attempted murder and assault, police said.   
      
   During its research, Parabon came up with the name of another   
   person who was ruled out as a suspect when police went to   
   Louisiana and obtained his DNA.   
      
   Two nieces of Sanders, Sharron and Dixie Kadinger, thanked   
   police in a statement for bringing the family closure.   
      
   "May Naomi now rest in peace," they said.
