Two arrests had been made a few years after the murder but neither stuck.
The case went cold.
His DNA was found at the scene.
Under questioning, police said he all but confessed.
He was arrested, eventually, in 2016.
But then, confusingly, a few months after his arrest, prosecutors dropped the charges.
