Breakthrough as roadside strangling victim identified after 33 years

A strangling victim whose body was found dumped by a freeway 33 years ago has finally been identified thanks to a breakthrough in DNA analysis.

Lisa Coburn Kesler's remains were discovered in September 1990 on the the side of I-40 East in Orange County. At the time her identity was unknown.

DNA was taken from her badly-decomposed body but at the time this data could only confirm someone's identity - it couldn't be used to identify an unknown person.
