It's been almost 28 years since 24-year-old Suzanne Sayles was strangled and raped in her Minneapolis apartment. Minneapolis police agreed to take a fresh look at the case after her friends contacted WCCO-TV.
One of the department's most respected investigators, Sgt. Mike Keefe, has been assigned the case. Keefe recently submitted six samples of DNA from men who knew Suzanne.
Suzanne grew up in Austin, Minn. and was working as a secretary at the University of Minnesota Dental School when she was murdered in May 1979.
The men agreed voluntarily to give the DNA samples to Keefe in the past couple of weeks. Their DNA will be compared with DNA preserved at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that was obtained at the crime scene.
BCA officials estimate it will take at least a month to determine if there is a DNA match. Anyone with information on Suzanne's killing is asked to call Keefe at (612) 673-3653.
