New information in the unsolved murder of a six year old girl is giving hope to police and her family.

On August 13th, 1995, Rosie's mother went into her room and found the screen on the window ripped, and her daughter gone. Her body was later found in a canal, near her family's apartment. She had been sexually assaulted.

Salt Lake police have worked countless leads since that day. Today, nine years later, they have one more.

If your child disappears, pray for her safe return -- and then pray for a media blitz.

It is a lesson few know better than Tamara and Richard Davis, whose daughter, Kiplyn, hasn't been seen for seven years. When the bubbly girl with the red bouncy hair disappeared from Spanish Fork High School, there were no reporters, no helicopters and no 6 o'clock updates. For that matter, there was barely an investigation -- at least initially.

The article says DNA was not used 9 years ago :waitasec:

When did they start using DNA analysis in murders?

Around the time of OJ. This crime happened right around that time. I used to live there and am familiar with some details of the case. I believe the man is someone who has been suspected all along, but police had no conclusive evidence. Poor little Rosie. I hope justice will finally prevail for her.
