A Texas man has been arrested in Mexico in connection with the 1986 murder of a teenage girl, with authorities using advanced DNA technology to solve the cold case nearly four decades later.

Bobby Charles Taylor Sr. is accused of killing 16-year-old Deanna Ogg of Porter, Texas. The victim was found dead on the side of a road on September 27, 1986.

Texas law enforcement officials used new DNA technology to allegedly link Taylor to the crime, according to authorities. The breakthrough in DNA analysis capabilities allowed investigators to reexamine evidence from the original crime scene.

Taylor was apprehended south of the U.S.-Mexico border, where he had been living as a fugitive. The arrest comes after decades of the case remaining unsolved despite ongoing investigative efforts.

The case represents one of numerous cold cases being reopened across the country as DNA technology continues to advance, allowing law enforcement to solve crimes that had previously gone unsolved for years or decades.
