, about 100 suspects have been identified through the technology, according to Parabon NanoLabs Chief Genetic Genealogist CeCe Moore, who worked on the Atup and Malatag case.

But Hudspeth died in 1999 from a medical condition, police said, so they obtained a search warrant and exhumed his remains from a Santa Clara cemetery. Hudspeth's DNA confirmed he was the suspect, police said. "We are attempting to put our lives back together as we re-mourn the loss of our beloveds," the family said in their statement.

Fremont police released this undated photo of Jeffrey Flores Atup and Mary Jane Malatag, killed in Dec. 1982."We will be forever thankful to Detective Blass in never forgetting about these 2 innocent children," the family added."We would also like to thank the Fremont police department as well as the initial detectives who worked on this case."
