Advances in forensic science technology led to the arrest last weekend of John Kevin Woodward who is suspected of strangling Laurie Houts to death 30 years ago, authorities said.
John Kevin Woodward, 58, president and chief executive officer of ReadyTech, was taken into custody Saturday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York as he was arriving from Amsterdam, according to the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney.
"It doesn’t really matter what happens because Laurie is not coming back. We don’t get to win and get our sister back. We get to win and maybe get some justice or some closure," said Cindy, Houts' younger sister. The rope used to kill her was still around her neck, and authorities said her footprints were on the windshield interior, showing she struggled with her attacker.
