A California nurse raped and killed while jogging may have helped detectives solve her cold case murder after 25 years. Redding police said last January a detective reviewing the case resubmitted Munro’s fingernail scrapings for analysis with DNA technology that didn't exist at the time of the murder. Watkins was flown from Texas to Redding and jailed on rape, kidnapping and murder charges. Reports at the time of the murder say Munro's killer slashed her throat. In 1997, a convicted rapist falsely confessed to Munro's murder and there was insufficient physical evidence to tie him to the crime.
