Idaho authorities have taken a blood sample from a Utah prison inmate to determine if he may have murdered a 14-year-old girl in 1982.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office filed a search warrant July 25 seeking a blood sample from Wesley Allen Tuttle, 55, who is serving a sentence of five-years-to-life in the Utah State Prison for the murder of Sydney Anne Merrick, of Salt Lake City, in 1983.
Chief Investigator Craig Watson said the blood sample has already been taken, but he was unaware if it matched the DNA sought by Idaho investigators.
Idaho officials consider Tuttle a "person of interest" in the killing of 14-year-old Lisa Chambers, who left for school at 7:15 a.m. Nov. 10, 1982, but never showed up, court documents state. Chambers was reported missing by her mother that evening.
The teen was found by two hunters in a cornfield near Lake Hazel in Boise on Thanksgiving. Investigators determined the girl was strangled with her own shoelace and was sexually assaulted.
